    Now that you're 16 you're ready for fucking.

    Amazing Grace

    Amazing Grace come sit on my face
    Don't make me cry because I need your pie

    German in the Grass

    Popeye

    Look into my eyes

    Look into my eyes
    You're paralysed

    Your bum is paralysed etc

    I'm Tough!

    I'm tough! When I go to Pizza Hut I order everything � chairs, tables etc
    I'm Tough! When my wide irons my shirt I leave it on
    I'm tough! I eat quiche I eat it in front of truckies
    I'm tough! My coco pops go shh sshh sshh

    Riddles

    Look Up

    Look up, look down. Your pants will fall down.
