mickey pick+slate
early and late
mickey, mickey
that was the poor little breaker boys fate
mickety pickety rickety tickety l!ckety spl!ckety
kickety, kickety, kick, kick, kick, kick
mickey, mickey, mickey, mickey

eight years, nine years, ten years, twelve years
six years, seven years, thirteen, fifteen, fourteen
eleven, seventeen, eighteen, sixteen
mickey, mickey, mickey, mickey
mickety pickety rickety tickety l!ckety spl!ckety

“oh what a place, you sat on a hard seat
you didn’t dare cushion it, no matter
you had to sit on that plain plank, no matter
with your feet in the shoot, on a plain plank
bent over like this
well i’ll tell you it was very scary
believe me, believe me

“i don’t know how in the world i got the nerve to
go there in the first place
you didn’t dare say anything
you didn’t dare quit
because it was something to have a job at 8 cents
an hour
you didn’t wear gloves
you didn’t dare
you weren’t allowed to wear gloves
“your fingernails, you had none
the ends of them would be bleeding every day
from work
bleeding every day.”+

mickey pick+slate
early and late
that was the poor little breaker boys fate
a poor simple woman at the breaker still waits
to bring home her poor little mickey pick+slate

inor minor mona mai
pascor lahra bonor bai
eggs b+tter cheese bread
stick stock stone dead

stick ‘em up and stick ‘em down
stick ‘em in the old man’s crown
snail, snail come outa your hole
or else i’ll beat you black as coal
black as coal, black as coal
stone dead, stone dead

once a man and twice a boy
oh you are my pride and joy
twice a boy and once a man
catch me catch me if you can
catch me, catch me
mickety pickety rickety tickety l!ckety spl!ckety
slate picker, mule kicker, air thicker
make you sicker
sicker, sicker, sicker, sicker, sicker, sicker, sicker, sicker
mickety pickety rickety tickety l!ckety spl!ckety

ten little angels dressed in white
tryin’ to get to heaven on the tail of a kite
but the kite string broke and down they fell
instead of going to heaven the went to…
heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
nine little angels, eight little angels
heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
seven little angels, six little angels

i am king of the castle. i am king
i am king of the castle
king of the castle. i am king
i am king of the castle you are a dirty rascal
