adam woke up and eve was gone
billy was strapping his six-guns on
they called him the kid because he wore brown shoes
and he sailed the ocean with columbus blue
daniel boone was a mighty man
and carried an elephant in a can
the elephant flew like a rocket to the moon
as grandma played him a happy tune
jack and jill went over the hill
to get a job at the old mill
they met genghis khan with a frying pan
who told them about his master plan
but master plans have a tendency
to end at the bottom of the deep blue sea
jack was inclined to pass genghis by
but jill was determined to give him a try
jill said we may meet again some day
but we had enough of each other anyway
jack watched her go with a tear on his face
as she vanished in the mist without a trace
the mill broke down before jack arrived
and hardly a man is now alive
who remembers the way things used to be
when a nickel was a nickel and lunch was free
