Robert Charlebois - 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, they 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 brillant 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 (x 9)
