Queenie Cup Cakes and Princes Lil
Live in a castle on Holly Bush Hill
Surrounded by a slimy moat
Where the alligators float.

Sometimes the sisters stay at home
Looked after by a trusty gnome,
More often they slip out at night
To dance beneath red fairy light.

They like to dine on peas and ham,
And boiled eggs and bread with jam
The trusty gnome (who they adore)
Will bring Earl Gray at half past four.

Each morning when the day begins
A lady elf lays out their things
Lacy knickers, and little white socks
And helps to brush their curly locks.

And frocks in styles of every kind
Are chosen by the girls, who mind
An awful lot just how they look
When saunt'ring round the neighbourhood.

There's two in black and red, so tight,
That look just right with fishnet tights
And two of silk so soft and fine
That bustle out on their behinds.

Some days, when they are tired and wan
The sisters rest on their divan
Receiving calls from one and all
The fat, the thin , the short , the tall.

The girls will take a calling card
From each man waiting in the yard
As long as lady elf stays close
And acts the most delightful host.

Their reputation far and wide
Would drive the sanest person wild
With talk of tricks picked up abroad
Of which their patrons do applaud.

With milky skin and softest down
And lips of the most high renown
Their slender limbs, their tiny feet
And best of all, two sets of each.

So if you can't resist the call
Of Siren sisters fair and tall
Make haste, tout suite, to Holly Bush Hill
For Queenie Cup Cakes and Princes Lil.
