Verse:
Peter, Peter pumpkin-eater, he had a wife who was a cheater
So he put her in a pumpkin shell; she couldn't breathe but what the hell--
At least she couldn't cheat…
Now he lets her out for therapy once a week
Chorus:
And it's hey diddle diddle, let's have a ball
Rockin’ and reelin’ up on the wall
Big fat eggs' tryin' not to fall
Cause man it’s a long way down
And it’s hard to bring it back around
Verse:
My old man Wee Willie runs through the town
Never gets dressed till the sun goes down
Then he calls me up at half past dawn, one shoe off and one shoe on
Unsteady on the brink
Cryin’ “where o where can I find a drink!”
Bridge:
So Jack be nimble, Jill be smart
Know where you’re goin’ before you start
Don’t you tumble down and break your heeaaaarrrrt
You can’t get it back together when it’s torn apart
Verse:
Mary Mary quite contrary, was so afraid she’d never marry
Then she met up with a simple man, stole her heart and away he ran
Then he stole her money too
Now she got so much debt she don’t know what to do
[Chorus]
Verse:
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, she was singin’ a song by Jimmy Buffet
Little Boy Blue stood at the gate, he brought his horn but he came too late
The cows had all gone home
Now she sips her wine and gives her dog a bone
[Chorus]
