(English)
Germy Black John Crows
I heard that John Crows don’t fly at night,
But I know that it’s not true.
Many John Crows perch on the road at night.
Those John Crows don’t know night from day.
Even when no stinking dead dog is here,
The black ugly John Crows still come.
They swarm the place like ginger flies.
Lord, what kinds of John Crows are those?
I’m tired of the germy black John Crows.
