=1=
He's small,
Tiny,
Wee.
Not
Average
Size
Like me.
And despite
What you
Might see
He's as tough as tough can be
And my best mate, c'est Louis.
=2=
He's tall,
Large,
Imposing.
Seldom
Disclosing
Much
Like me.
And despite
What you're
Supposing
He's gentle as can be
And he's sturdy as a tree.
=3=
He's my size
And very chatty.
He is driving me
Quite batty.
He is not
A careful thinker,
Unlike me.
I outweigh him by a bit;
He is well aware of it.
And he knows
I'm unpredictable
And scrappy.
Just one look
And he goes silent.
He's afraid
I might turn violent.
And despite
What you're
Supposing
That's not a bit like me.
You could wait and wait and wait
And I'd never punch me mate
Even when his nattering drives me up a tree.
=4=
He's the Gov'nor, the boss,
And he's very, very cross
When we squabble and we fight,
Carter and me.
When I bicker with LeBeau
He's the first to let me know
That I'd better get in line
Or I will see.
I'm not sure what I will see,
But that's threat enough for me.
'Cause he's tough as tough can be
And he's sturdy as a tree
And he talks a mile a minute when he wants to.
He's the Gov, all suave and clever
And he'll never ever ever
Give up on me although he really ought to.
He sets me straight with just a glance
And then he gives a second chance
And I really do suppose I ought to be
Grateful for his guiding hand
When he barks out a command
'Cause he thinks there's someone better inside me.
=5=
Unpredictable and scrappy
Average, scrawny, not too happy
I'm a good-for-nothing, very cunning thief.
But for my mates I truly try
To be a decent sort of guy
And to show them I am worthy of belief.
