Conrad's mother said Conrad dear
must go out and leave you here.
but mind now, Conrad, what I say,
don't suck your thumbs while I'm away.
snip snip the scissors go
and Conrad cries out oh!
snip snip they go so fast,
and Conrad's thumbs are off at last.
well,mama had scarcely turned her back,
when the thumbs were in , alack! alack!
the door burst open and in he ran,
that great long legged scissor man.
snip snip the scissors go
and Conrad cries out oh!
snip snip they go so fast,
and Conrad's thumbs are off at last.
well, mama comes home and there Conrad stands,
and he looks quite sad as he shows his hands,
Ha! Ha! said mama, I knew he'd come,
for naughty little suck-a-thumb.
snip snip the scissors go
and Conrad cries out oh!
snip snip they go so fast,
and Conrad bleeds to death at last.
