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