Mystery at Otto’s
Mystery at Otto’s
What is that schmutz
On the ceiling at Otto’s?
Did Otto’s shrinking head
Cause a splatter of brain matter?
Is it Hobo Bob’s toe jam?
Did a phlegmy Obsidian
Hock up a clam?
Maybe someone in this room
Has been hurling chunks
But we’ll probably never know
We simply have too many drunks.
