You Didn'T Hear It From Me

Through the door, Uncle Ben came in
Of course he is Aunt Sue's honey
Years ago, she dropped Sloppy Joe
And not just because of money!

They brought with them, their Baby Ruth
Upstairs is her real Papa, John
Notice how Ginger snaps at all,
It's not Shirley Temple she's on!

Now you didn't hear it from me
But stay clear of Betty Crocker
She will Chuck steak, and hit your head
Some say that she's off her rocker!

Have you seen Colby Jack a car?
And from his wife, hostility! 
It's not nice that Rosemary spice,
But you didn't hear it from me!
