lyrics

Once upon a wickedness, I fell into some arms
Bigger than my belly, tighter than a clam.
The key was heavy in my little purse and every penny burned
When I turned and tried to run.
These buttons don't fit
Woe, woe, woe, woeful me.

Is it halfway open, is it halfway shut?
It all depends how the cloth is cut
On the warp, or on the weft,
Till the shortest thread is all that's left.

These buttons don't fit,
These holes don't fit
Woeful me.
