Lost Verses to 'Oh My Darling, Clementine'

Dancing pretty, through the meadow,
It was really quite sublime.
Didn't know it was a minefield
Long-abandoned, Clementine.

CHORUS:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever.
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Dusted off a can of carrots
Hidden back in the pantry.
Should've checked the expiration
Dated May of Eighty-Three.

CHORUS

On an impulse we decided
To visit the city zoo.
But you jumped the barricade,
And tried to box the kangaroo.

CHORUS

Sleepless nights within the lab
Playing God with DNA.
Crossed a line man was not meant to.
Monster-hybrids destroyed L.A.

CHORUS

  1. Didn't know you had forgotten
    Not to touch my ol' death ray.
    There came a crack, ominous soundtrack,
    I've run out of things to say.

    CHORUS
