I don't care what they say
 I'm going to keep it anyway
 I won't let them stretch their necks
 To see my little black egg
 With the little white specks
 I found it in a tree
 Just the other day
 And now it's mine all mine
 They won't take it away
 Here comes Nancy here comes Lee
 I've got what they want to see
 I won't let them stretch their necks
 To see my little black egg
 With the little white specks
 I found it in a tree
 Just the other day
 And now it's mine all mine
 They won't take it away
 Oh darling what can I do
 That little black egg's gonna tell on you
 I won't let them stretch their necks
 To see my little black egg
 With the little white specks
 My little black egg.....
 My little black egg.....
 My little black egg.....
 My little black egg.....
 My little black egg.....
 My little black egg.....
 My little black egg.....
