A MAN by the name of Greg
Ate nothing but hard-boiled EGGS
And once every hour
He'd pick a blue FLOWER
To give to his lover named Peg.

Peg traveled to see him
To beg and to plead him
To run off to CHINA with her
"The dish and the spoon
will run away soon,"
She said as she hoped he'd concur.

"My dear lovely Peg,"
He said as she begged
"Let's wait till the summer or FALL,
For then you will see
if you or if me
Are really that in love at all"

Poor Peg's heart was breaking
She hoped he was faking
For how could he not love her back?
And that's when she fell
And got over her quell
When she met her new lover, Jack.

He built her a big house of CEDAR
He'd clothe and he'd love and he'd feed her
She always made him take out the TRASH
When he walked out the DOOR
There'd always be more
And soon there was a big, huge TRASH stash!

Finally, Jack had enough
He decided he'd call out her bluff
He knew she was cheating
With Greg and his EGG-eating
And now he'd decide to get rough.

That night did he steal his love's lover
Using darkness alone as his cover
He took Greg away
To the town of Bombay
And waited for his plan to uncover

He came up with a plan
To dispose of this man
And fulfill his retaliation
He thought and he thought
For a plan did he sought
And came up with this lovely creation:

"I'll WRITE and I'll WRITE
I'll sound sad and contrite
When I'm writing the poor ransom note
I'll leave little clues
As I break her the NEWS
Then hop on the next little boat!"

When she gave him the money
He thought it was funny
'Cause the player had just been the played
He ran off to Sweden
With a young girl named Eden
Happily even and paid.
