Born With a Horn

BORN WITH A HORN

Once upon a time
There was a baby born
She had three nipples
And she had one horn
Her daddy didn't want her
And her mama was a whore

The baby grew older
Now she was a girl
She found four oysters
And she found one pearl
Her daddy didn't know her
And her mama wanted more

One day
Into her daddy she ran
She was holding five flowers
And holding one can
Her daddy didn't see her
And her mama hit the floor

Now into his chest she dove
With the power of her horn
He screamed six times
And he screamed once more
How I wish
And wish
You were never born
Her mama stood up
As fast as she could
She shouted at the child
I never did love you
You were never any good
