Thank you for the flowers<br>
I threw them on the fire
I threw them on the fire<br>
 
And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed<br>
And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed
God, they were ugly children<br>
 
So you're that little bastard of that brother of mine<br>
God, they were ugly children
Trying to trick a poor old woman<br>
 
'Til I almost had a weakness<br>
So you're that little bastard of that brother of mine
<br>
 
Last week Cousin Florence bit your Uncle Joe<br>
Trying to trick a poor old woman
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork<br>
 
Said that he looked like the devil<br>
'Til I almost had a weakness
Then she said... "pass the vinegar", I'm beginning to think<br>
 
That I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it<br>
 
Though I almost had a weakness<br>
 
<br>
Last week Cousin Florence bit your Uncle Joe
It pains me to mention<br>
 
These delicate concerns<br>
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
But while I have to tolerate you family jewels<br>
 
I really mustn't grumble<br>
Said that he looked like the devil
'Cause when I die, the cats and dogs will jump up and down<br>
 
And you little swines will get nothing<br>
Then she said... "pass the vinegar", I'm beginning to think
Though I almost had a weakness<br>
 
That I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it
 
Though I almost had a weakness
 
 
 
It pains me to mention
 
These delicate concerns
 
But while I have to tolerate you family jewels

'Cause when I die, the cats and dogs will jump up and down
 
And you little swines will get nothing

lyrics for
I Almost Had A Weakness

Thank you for the flowers
I threw them on the fire
And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed
God, they were ugly children
So you're that little bastard of that brother of mine
Trying to trick a poor old woman
'Til I almost had a weakness

Last week Cousin Florence bit your Uncle Joe
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
Said that he looked like the devil
Then she said... "pass the vinegar", I'm beginning to think
That I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it
Though I almost had a weakness

It pains me to mention
These delicate concerns
But while I have to tolerate you family jewels
I really mustn't grumble
'Cause when I die, the cats and dogs will jump up and down
And you little swines will get nothing
Though I almost had a weakness
