bus. I think that's why your Mommy left us.

But Daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer.
Then he wants sex that involves mommy's rear.
Daddy has sores on his genitals oozing with
pus. I think that's why your Mommy left us.

Right after Daddy gets home from the bar.
Visits his bookie and steals a new car.
He'll drive to the strip club and if Daddy plays his cards
right... he'll bring home your new Mommy tonight.
