(Chorus Below)

Ball of yarn , ball of yarn
It was then I spun her little ball of yarn
Ball of yarn, ball of yarn
It was then I spun her little ball of yarn.

It was in the month of June
When the flowers were in bloom
I found her sweeping out behind the barn
As she shoveled up the gobs
I so gently pinched her knob
And asked to spin her little ball of yarn.

(Chorus)

She undressed before my sight
We went at it all that night
Her little frame was shakin' stem to stern
And the blackbird and the robin
Watched her little butt a-bobbin'
'Twas then I spun her little ball of yarn.

(Chorus)

It was two months after that
In the office where I sat
Never dreamin' that she'd done me any harm
A doctor dressed in white said "Your pecker is a sight
It's been tangled in the little ball of yarn."

(Chorus)

It was nine months to the day
In the bathtub where I lay
I felt a heavy hand upon my arm
And a policeman with a hose said, "Get up and get your clothes
You're the father of a little ball of yarn."

(Chorus)

In my prison cell I sit
With my bathrobe in the shade
And the shadow of my finger on the wall
And the women as they pass thrust their hatpins up my ears
And the little mice play hopscotch with my...

(Chorus)
