Jack The Ripper
I shall gut a whore
Gutting is the dog’s bullocks
Liver is my choice

Werewolf
Hair covers them both
People make fun of them gone
I swear I have balls

Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Andre, get my robe!
It is time to meet the boys
Dad, please turn your head

Beauty shines in me
Just not my hair or my face
King Kong comes out soon
