Oh the horses run around and their feet all touch the ground,
Why did they build the shore so near the ocean?
Go get an axe, there's a hair on baby's chest,
And who's gonna wind your clock up when I'm gone.

While peeping through the knothole in Grandpa's wooden leg
A bookworm ate some glue and lost his supper.
Who cut the sleeves out of dear old Daddy's vest
And dug up Willy's grave to make a sewer.

While looking through a window, a second storey window,
I slipped a sprained my eyebrow on the ceiling.
A snake's belt slips 'cause it ain't got no hips -
You're the flower of my heart sweet Adeline.

Oh she hit him with a shingle and it made his britches tingle,
All because he bashed his baby brother.
He went running down the lane with his britches full of pain -
A boy's best friend is his mother.
