I don't care what they say,

I'm gonna 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,

Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.

There comes Mary, there comes Lee :

I'll bet 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,

Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.

Oh my, what can I do ? Little black agg's gonna tell on you.

I won't let them stretch their necks

To see my little black egg with the little white specks
