They say that the tall ships are going to sea,
but I don’t know what tall ships see.
Now does that make any sense to you?
‘Cuz it doesn’t make sense to me.
They say that a pig went off to the market,
I’m assuming there wasn’t a fair?
And whether he had his roast beef or none,
Tell me, why in the world do we care?
If Peter makes pickles from peppers or not,
I’d wanna know: dill, sweet, or hot?
And whether a peck is a little or lot,
‘Xactly how does that add to the plot?
There’s nothing quite like a dead cat bounce,
‘Cuz dead cats don’t bounce very high.
'Tis a strange phrase you hear all the time,
And frankly, I don’t know why.
These nursery rhyme stories don’t make any sense;
They’re really not terribly deep.
Monotonous rhythms that hopefully
Will send the kids off to sleep! To sleep!
Will send the kids off to sleep.
Hogg went to market and bought trouble an ounce
A seedy dog barked so bad he had to pounce
The dog puked a tabby cat
And the cat big Hardy hat
An ounce of common sense, brat, a dead cat bounce
