Snakes And Ladders Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

Well I can tolerate most folk 

And a few folk tolerate me 

But I know a girl 

A very special girl 

Who thinks I'm twenty three 

And when she grows up 

She says she's gonna marry me. 

We go up the ladders 

And down the snakes Pol 

That's four so you go up a ladder 

And that's three so I go down a snake. 

I saw Charlie Chaplin once, I mean for real 

Waiting for an aeroplane 

All wrapped up in a blanket with himself 

Sat in a wheel-chair waiting to die. 

We go up the ladders 

And down the snakes Pol 

That's six so you have another throw 

And that's one so I go down a snake. 

And I remember when as a kid 

He had me in stitches 

For threepence at the flix 

And it didn't seem right. 

We go up the ladders 

And down the snakes Pol 

That's two so you go up a ladder 

Yikes, that's five so I go down a snake again. 

Well I can tolerate most folk 

And a few folk tolerate me.
