Subject: Lyr Req: Early in the Morning before...
I am trying to find the lyrics to a disgusting and humorous ditty. The chorus goes:

Early in the morning, early in the morning

Early in the morning, before the break of day.

Early being sung as "ear-leye"

Some of the verses go something like this:

Wake up Mary, get out of bed

Try if you are able

Wake up Mary, you sleep head

We need your sheets for the table.

And

Off to the butcher shop we go

a sheep's head for to eat

But please don't poke its little eyes out

It has to see us through the week.

Any chance others heard of this song?
