Mary, Mary quite contrary How'd you get your eyes so scary? Lost your pocket full of poseys Pawned your rings and cut your roses Now I see you out struttin' on your corner Working for a man named 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 a curse from little miss mophet 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, said all torn down Hansel and Gretel heat up the kettle Smelt like burned ol' tires and metal Hansel played chef, Gretel played dealer Got a dog played by an old blue heeler Hey diddle diddle the cats on the moon And the folks 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, said all torn down Mary, Mary quite contrary How'd you get your eyes so scary? Lost your pocket full of poseys Pawned your rings and cut your roses Now I see you out struttin' on your corner Workin' for a man named a little Jake...
