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