Lyrics The Barber And His Wife - Len Cariou
There's
a
hole
in
the
world
like
a
great
black
pit
And
the
vermin
of
the
world
inhabit
it
And
it's
morals
aren't
worth
what
a
pig
could
spit
And
it
goes
by
the
name
of
London...
There
was
a
barber
and
his
wife,
And
she
was
beautiful.
A
foolish
barber
and
his
wife.
She
was
his
reason
and
his
life,
And
she
was
beautiful,
And
she
was
virtuous,
And
he
was...
naive.
There
was
another
man
who
saw
That
she
was
beautiful.
A
pious
vulture
of
the
law,
Who,
with
a
gesture
of
his
claw,
Removed
the
barber
from
his
plate,
Then
there
was
nothing
but
to
wait,
And
she
would
fall,
So
soft,
So
young,
So
lost
And
oh
so
beautiful!
ANTHONY:
And
the
lady,
sir,
did
she
succumb?
Oh,
that
was
many
years
ago...
I
doubt
if
anyone
would
know...
There's
a
hole
in
the
world
like
a
great
black
pit
And
it's
filled
with
people
who
are
filled
with
shit
And
the
vermin
of
the
world
inhabit
it...
