Mary, Mary, quite contrary
how'd you get your eyes so scary?
Lost your pocket full of posies
pawned your rings and cut your roses.
Now I see you out strutting on your corner
working for a man named a little Jack Horner.
Alice, Alice, full of malice
got kicked out of her own palace.
Tracks in her arm where she followed a rabbit,
she picked up all his old bad habits.
Steals her curds from a little Miss Muffet
out in the alley, learning how to tough it.
Ashes, ashes, hit the ground
all grown up and all torn down.
Ashes, ashes, hit the ground
all grown up and all torn down.
I said all torn down.
Hansel and Gretel, heat up the kettle
smelled like burnt old tires and metal.
Hansel played chef, Gretel played dealer
gaurd dog played by an old blue heater.
Hey diddle diddle the cats on the moon
and the forks got a lighter underneath the spoon.
Ashes, ashes, hit the ground
all grown up and all torn down.
Ashes, ashes, hit the ground
all grown up and all torn
I said all torn down.
Mary, mary, quite contrary
how'd you get your eyes so scary?
Lost your pocket, full of posies
pawned your rings and cut your roses.
Now I see you out strutting on your corner,
working for a man named a little Jack...
