Storybook Ball

Up in Mother Goose's book up in the nursery,
Simple Simon says "I'm feelin' mighty sad"
Said Peter Piper's daughter,
"So am I, I thing we outhta -
do somthing that would make the kiddies glad"
Smarty Smarty, said
"I think we'll give a party"
And they called on the old woman in a shoe.
Now the cat, he brought his fiddle
and he played Hi Diddle Diddle.
What happened then, I'm gonna tell to you.
Little Jackie Horner,eatin' pie in the corner,
stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum.
Little Miss Muffet, sittin' on her tuffet,
said "Yum Yum, now won't you give 'em some?"
Georgie Porgie with his puddin' and pie,
kissed Mary Quite Contrary
and he made her cry.
Little Bo Peep, lost her sheep.
She couldn't find them,
all their tails behind them.
Peter Peter pumpkin eater had a wife
and couldn't keep her,
at the ball, in the hall.
Humpty Dumpty met her and he said
"You bet, I'll get her,
and I'll make her fall and that's not all."
Old King Cole, that merry old soul,
helpin'Mother Hubbard, blew his big bank roll.
Buyin' lollypops and goodies for the kiddies
at the storybook ball.
