Gloves

Gloves in a breast pocket,
gives you a tit
just one tit.
Gloves in a breast pocket
gives you a tit
man has mastectomy ma-ma!

Gloves on a short string
makes you hit
your own face.
Gloves on a short string
makes you hit
gives you a blinder, ma-ma!

Gloves when you strike me
hides the bruises
me confuses.
Gloves when you strike me
hides the bruises;
I curl like a baby, ma-ma!

Gloves so thin on bright white fingers
makes me shiver
laid out here, mum.
Gloves so thin on bright white fingers
makes me shiver
out my pink-popped or-gans.
