"Oh Lord, what a Mess"

When the Lord gave out LOOKS,

I thought he said BOOKS,

I didn't want none.

When he said EARS,

I thought he said BEERS,

So I asked for two large ones.

When he said NOSE,

I thought he said ROSE,

So I asked for a big red one.

When he said CHINS,

I thought he said GINS,

So I asked for a double.

When he said BRAINS,

I thought he said TRAINS,

I missed mine.

Oh Lord, what a mess
