 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.
