Her eyes is all shut in a ecstasy face (Make a face! Make a face!)
I can cram it down her throat, people, any old place! (Huargh!)
Then I throw the little switch on her battery pack (Yuggle-yuggle-yah! Yuggle-yuggle-yah!)
'N I can poot it, I can shoot it till it makes her gack! (Woah! Huargh!)
And her name is
