[00:8.79]Sweeter is the meat
[00:11.46]Last slice of virginia ham
[00:13.77]Is the best that you can eat
[00:16.75]Don't talk about my baby

[00:22.49]Closest to the bone
[00:24.51]And sweeter is the meat
[00:27.35]Now she'd make a good thermometer
[00:29.99]If she drank a glass of wine
[00:32.91]She's built just like a garter snake
[00:35.59]She climbs up like a vine
[00:38.19]My friends tell me I'm a fool
[00:41.0]To love a girl like that

[02:64.88]Now she'd make a first class fountain pen
[02:69.62]If she only knew how to write
[02:74.02]Her figure's like a piece of string
[02:78.03]Umm she rolls up every night
[02:82.65]Everybody thinks that I'm a nut
[02:87.12]To love this lovely worm
