What the **** did I do? You want to know sumpin' 'bout that floozie Pearl?
She ain't so darn nice!

For starters, honey, you always want to do, what the boys don't want to do.
I mean to say - When you strut your stuff around - OMG London Bridge is falling down!
Another thing, Lulu. When you get blue, frankly, you go cuckoo Like a clock up on the shelf - you're the kind of smartie that breaks up every party.
Hullabalooloo, guys don't bring Lulu.
She'll come by herself - she always does!
And goes home the same way I might add!

Pearlie babe,just ask your friend Rose how she got her turned up nose - you might end up with the same.

Rose said...

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your nose like you broke mine.
