Mr. Plum Lyrics

A curious person is Mr Plum
Never glum
Though he had a one foot leg
A one foot trunk
And a head going one foot high
He juggled daggers without buzz
And sent them flashing through the sky

Always a child and never a man
Poor Mr Plum
The dwarf

He courted Big Bella the bareback rider
And tried her
He juggled she rode
The coupled in fun
And soon were parents of an angelic son
Who caught their days and stole their nights
They called him Gabriel by the stars

Always a child and never a man
Glad Mr Plum
The dwarf

Sweet Gabriel brought them joy for seven years
Past all fears
Then suddenly to the dwarf’s dismay
This brilliant boy grew taller day by day
Soon the son outgrew the sire
And joy to jealousy gave away

Always a child and never a man
Sad Mr Plum
The dwarf

Poor Mr Plum grew sick and cold with envy
With envy
Till one night the moon in his head
Moaning in secret
He wished his son dead
A roar of wrath
He flashed his knife
He severed Gabriel’s head

Always a child and never a man
Mad Mr. Plum
The dwarf

As favour to the height of the condemned
Like a friend
The hangman built a shorter fall
But the mad dwarf shouting
Shattered the ….
No I want to die like a man
And the hangman he …
No longer a child at last a man
Poor Mr Plum
The dwarf
