Higgledy-piggledy-ness

[Wilson Gray]

"Great googa-mooga" is older.

"I smelled something cooking
"And I looked to see
"That's when I found out
"They was a-cookin' me!

"Great googa-mooga!
Lemme outta here!"

-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
