Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Fidgety Phil

Let’s see if Philip can

Be a little gentleman

Let’s see if Philip’s able

To sit at the table

Mama bades Phil behave

And papa he looks very grave

But fidgety Phil he won’t sit still

He wriggles and he giggles

Yeah fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Well I declare

He rocks backwards and forwards on his chair

Just like it was a rocking horse

Mama’s getting very cross

Yeah fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Then to make matters worse again

He grabs the tablecloth and then

Down upon the ground he falls

With knives plates forks spoons and all

Mama pulls such a face

At Philip’s sad disgrace

And papa pulls such a frown

As Philip goes tumbling down

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Where is Philip where is he

Oh there he is and he bleeds

There’s a bloodstained tablecloth lying on him

Knives and forks they’re all stuck in him

There’s a knife and there’s a fork

Oh Philip this is cruel work

What a terrible to-do

Philip bleeds to death and turns blue

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil

Fidgety fidgety fidgety Phil
