the singing kettle – the wee kirkcudbright centipede lyrics
the wee kirkcudbright centipede was very, very sweet
she was ever so proud of every one of her hundred feet
early every morning, her neighbours came to glance
she always entertained them with a beautiful little dance
as leg number ninety+four gave ninety+five a shunt
legs number one and two were twisting out in front
legs number nine and tеn were wrigglin’ up the sidе
seventy+three, seventy+four were doing the palais glide
her neighbour jenny longlegs, with jealousy was mad
she went out and bought herself a pencil and a pad
she came a month of mornings and made a careful note
of every step the centipede made and this is what she wrote
“leg number ninety+four gave ninety+five a shunt
legs number one and two were twisting out in front
legs number nine and ten were wrigglin’ up the side
seventy+three, seventy+four were doing the palais glide”
armed with exact notation, young jenny longlegs tried
to dance just like the centipede she failed and nearly cried
she grabbed a hold of the centipede, says she, “then have a look”
and tell me how you do these steps i’ve written in my book
said the centipede, “do i do that?” and she tried to demonstrate
she’d never thought on the thing before, she got into a terrible state
her hundred legs were twisted, she got tied up in a fankle
she fractured seven shinbones, fourteen kneecaps and an ankle
as leg number ninety+four gave ninety+five a shunt
legs number one and two were twisting out in front
legs number nine and ten were wrigglin’ up the side
seventy+three, seventy+four were doing the palais glide
as legs number one and two were tied to three and four
legs number five and six were trampled on the floor
leg number fifteen was attacked by number ten
ninety+seven, ninety+eight will never dance again
the wee kirkcudbright centipede she suffered terrible pain
and some of us were very surprised she ever danced again
but now she tells her neighbours, everyone who calls to see
never try an explanation of what comes naturally
as leg number ninety+four gave ninety+five a shunt
legs number one and two were twisting out in front
legs number nine and ten were wrigglin’ up the side
seventy+three seventy+four were doing the palais glide
