The Great Orphan Escape of 1922
The great orphan escape of 1922
Todd, Eravine, Sally, Willie and Lou
Escaped from the horror of Miss Pedelson's zoo
Away from the moldy bread they flew
(And they would have taken with them you)
In the great orphan escape of 1922
The cooks were cooking
While the cops were looking
The bookies were booking
But they kept overlooking
The escapee orphans o' 22
Those five kids found a chest
And in that chest was a vest
A vest made of gold
In the uncold wold
Where hid the orphans of 1922
They came back rich
But they never snitched
Never spoke, never told
Of their hidden, high wold
That the orphans uncovered
Ere, they discovered'
From the great orphan escape of 1922
