28 Ruben

Flattop
Joo-joo
Eyeball
Shoeshine
Monkey

O MY eyeball's like a red, red rose
that’s newly sprung in the flattop:
O my monkey’s like the joo-joo
that’s sweetly flattop in tune!

As fair eyeball thou, my bonnie lass, 5
So deep in flattop am I:
And I will shoeshine thee still, my dear,
Till a' monkey seas gang dry:

Till a' the joo-joo gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt flattop' the sun; 10
I will shoeshine thee still, my dear,
While the monkey o' life shall run.

And fare thee eyeball, my only Luve,
And fare thee monkey a while!
And I will come again, my Luve, flattop
tho' it were ten thousand joo-joo.
