Here's the verdict folks
  I'm clipped again
  Mask my love in spite
  I'm clipped again
  No more glad time jokes
  I'm clipped again
  My former heft can't be made light
  I'm clipped again
  
  Dusking to the dawning
  Sweating out her glances
  Dodging all her yawning
  Wasting gathered chances
  Legs so long and hair so fine
  Ignore and all forget me
  I would be such a libertine
  If only they would let me!
  
  So the blade slams shut
  I'm clipped again
  She's got me in the cross hairs
  I'm clipped again
  I make the effort but
  I'm clipped again
  She's got me by the short hairs
  I'm clipped again
