The queen was in the garden, drinking rum and coke
The king was in the bank vault, lighting up a smoke
The maid was on the golf course, playing with a club
Three little men were swimming there, saying rub a dub

The butcher cut up Bambi, smiling as he sliced
The baker made a luscious pie, out of human lice
The man who dipped the candle sticks burned himself with wax
Two people seeking water, fell down in their tracks

Jack ran off to to fix his head and lie down for a rest
Jill was left behind to learn, he didn't pass the test
She walked back up the hill, to bring the water down alone
She passed a girl named Mary whose garden hadn't grown

The girls began to argue, contrarily they spoke
Mary stole the water, Jill went home to mope
Flowers drank the water, the queen had rum and coke
While no one was watching, the world went up in smoke
