“We’re going to Kentucky…We’re going to the fair…to see the Se\u00f1orita with the flower in her–”<\/p>\n
Nursery rhymes nursery rhymes<\/p>\n
use to be the story of the lives<\/p>\n
of folkloric strangers that we never knew<\/p>\n
but that didn’t stop them from coming after you.<\/p>\n
“The Se\u00f1orita with the flower in her–”<\/p>\n
From afar we could see her approaching<\/p>\n
Lanky body, cracking with every motion<\/p>\n
Her bloodied cracked face were covered by her veil<\/p>\n
and if you stop singing she would begin to screech and wail<\/p>\n
The Se\u00f1orita from the fair<\/p>\n
would pull at our hair<\/p>\n
as we held our circle tight, sang her song<\/p>\n
teased the next kid who was to<\/p>\n
turn around and<\/p>\n
turn around and<\/p>\n
until they make a s–<\/p>\n
The Se\u00f1orita from Kentucky, the one from the fair, she was rather unlucky upon the Ferris Wheel.<\/p>\n
