Take any line; it doesn't matter what.
Just end it with what's easiest to rhyme.
Wash your hands of reason - 'out, out damned spot'.

Its like a lobster in a lobster pot;
it's going nowhere. Undersea bells chime.
Take any line; it doesn't matter what.

Like the oratory of a drunken sot:
he'll say it thrice and then one more (hic) time.
Wash your hands of reason - 'out out damned spot'.

Some fate declares we'll slither through this plot;
we're hauled along with others in the twine.
Take any line' it doesn't matter what.

To know that black-out's near may stop the rot;
dripping with meaning, no more words to mime;
wash your hands of reason - 'out, out damned spot'.

And there's the payload; treasure what you've got;
puff out your chest; you're thrown back to the slime.
Take any line; it doesn't matter what.
Wash your hands of reason - 'out, out damned spot'.
