Peepin' through the knot-hole
Of Grandpa's wooden leg
Who'll wind the clock
When I am gone?
Go get the ax
There's a flea in Lizzie's ear
And a boy's best friend is his mother.

I fell from a window,
A second story window
Why do they build the shore
So near the ocean?
Who cut the sleeves out of
Dear old daddy's vest?
And dug up Fido's bones to build the sewer?

A horsey stood around with his
Feet upon the ground
Oh, who will wind the clock
When I am gone?
Go get the ax
There's a fly on Lizzie's ear
And a boy's best friend is his mother.
