Quite Contrary

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...
