Kitchen smells of parafin the stairways turning black and teddy’s
Looking tired cause he’s lying on his back. crackling curtains
Dancing ribbons flames are waltzing across the hall a beetle turns a
Summersault in the matchbox by a wall getting restless with his
Lettuce
Playing tonight in the dolls house mommys smiling with a match
Glows softly thru the doorway draws patterns in the ash
Crackle crackle flash flash
Polly’s leaning out the window he gives a little wave grins as only
Dollys can but he cant come out to play sparks creep up his trouser
Leg but he doesnt care cause he’s busy watching mommy comb her curly
Hair very pretty on the setee playing tonight in the dolls house
Mommys smiling with a match glows softly thru the doorway
Draws patterns in the ash fizzle fizzle zap zap
On the second floor little wendy takes a bath her skin is melting
Slowly but she manages to laugh knows a dozen words or more shes
Always so polite pull her string out slowly she’ll sing all thru
The night sing forever really clever
Playing tonight in the dolls house but mommys getting bored
Tore up all her comics not a kiddie anymore nor is daddy
