Your Strict Horses Inhibit My Double Repetition
It was something to do with marmalade
It was something to do with marmalade
I tried to see where my book was laid.
I tried to see where my book was laid.
Oranges and Lemons, the Bells, the Bells!
Oranges and Lemons, the Bells, the Bells!
Bret Easton Ellis wrote the Book of Kells
Bret Easton Ellis wrote the Book of Kells
What I say two times is false
What I never tell is true
So all those things you once said twice?
Truth or falsehood - which the vice?
In the Vice Squad, furrowed brows
Trying hard to figure,
Why the Sabine Law allows
Small things to grow bigger
I must express this twice,
Or it will be a lie
I never lie but once or thrice
I never twice deny
Yet all I utter eight times o'er
No mortal can gainsay
Yet since I say it twice times four
My phrase lasts all the day!
