I went to my psychiatrist to be psychoanalyzed
To find out why I killed the cat and blacked my husband’s eye.

He laid me on a downy couch to see what he could find,
And here’s what he dredged up, from my subconscious mind.

 

When I was one, my mummy hid my dolly in a trunk
And so it follows, naturally, that I am always drunk.

When I was two, I saw my father kiss the maid one day,
and that is why I suffer from kleptomania.

At three I had a feeling of ambivalence towards my brothers
and so it follows naturally I poisoned all my lovers.

but I am happy now I have learned the lessons this has taught:
Everything I do that’s wrong, is someone else’s fault!
