Well I can tolerate most folk And a few folk tolerate me But I know a girl A very special girl Who thinks I'm twenty three And when she grows up She says she's gonna marry me. We go up the ladders And down the snakes Pol That's four so you go up a ladder And that's three so I go down a snake. I saw Charlie Chaplin once, I mean for real Waiting for an aeroplane All wrapped up in a blanket with himself Sat in a wheel-chair waiting to die. We go up the ladders And down the snakes Pol That's six so you have another throw And that's one so I go down a snake. And I remember when as a kid He had me in stitches For threepence at the flix And it didn't seem right. We go up the ladders And down the snakes Pol That's two so you go up a ladder Yikes, that's five so I go down a snake again. Well I can tolerate most folk And a few folk tolerate me.
