The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

I've seen trouble all my days
In this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

She's long gone with her red shoes on, going to meet another loving baby. . .
Go to sleep little baby, You and me and the devil makes three, don't need no other loving baby.

- Pete: "Do not seek the treasure."
- Delmar: "We thought you was a toad!"
- Note: This goes on for some time.
- Everett: Pete, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don't intend to dignify with comment.
