Whipping Song Lyrics by Dead Mermaids

You’re Welcome

0

[Verse 1]
Livin' in an Icelandic town, there's only time to trap
And if you don't listen to da', you'll get the razor strap
He whips us all for our own good whenever we do wrong
He dances with the vodka and sings the whipping song
[Chorus]
Always better listen or else he'll get us back
We get whipped when we disobey or when we're talking back
Grown-ups always right, children always wrong
We get taught at an early age to sing the whipping song
[Verse 2]
And when we're little weaklings we're given many chores
We're made to chop the wood up when it is cold outdoors
We beat the wool and milk the cow and butter we will churn
We chop and stack up firewood, then when to top we burn[?]
[Chorus]
Always better listen or else he'll get us back
We get whipped when we disobey or when we're talking back
Grown-ups always right, children always wrong
We get taught at an early age to sing the whipping song
[Verse 3]
And if we drop and break an egg or leave things out of place
A good listin' from father is to slap us in the face[?]
There's only one way you will learn when you do something wrong
You must respect your elders and sing the whipping song
[Chorus]
Always better listen or else he'll get us back
We get whipped when we disobey or when we're talking back
Grown-ups always right, children always wrong
We get taught at an early age to sing the whipping song
[Outro]
Whipping song!
