It`s only a Knife; or so they say!
I will put it in my pocket; go out to play.
He said; I`ve got a bigger Knife than that,
Really! don`t push me! have some of that.

Why did I take that Knife out to play!
The "lad" I stabbed was thirteen today!
Now he`s dead, and I`m going away,
"When" I come out! I will be to old to play.
