Quartermaster’s Store

 

 

There are snakes, snakes, snakes,

Big as garden rakes,

At the store, at the store.

There are snakes, snakes, snakes,

Big as garden rakes,

At the Quartermaster's Store

 

CHORUS:

 

My eyes are dim, I can not see,

I have not brought my specks with me.

I have not brought my specks with me.

  

There are mice, mice, mice, 

Running through the rice...

 

There are rats, rats, rats,

As big as alley cats...

 

There are spiders, spiders, spiders,

Swimming in the cider...

 

There are fleas, fleas, fleas,

Landing on the cheese...

 

There are bats, bats, bats,

Bigger than the rats...

 

There are beavers, beavers, beavers, 

Running from the cleavers...

 

There are eagles, eagles, eagles, 

Chasing all the beagles...

 

There are foxes, foxes, foxes,

Sitting on the boxes...

 

There are owls, owls, owls, 

Eating paper towels...

 

There are bears, bears, bears,

With curlers in their hair...

 

There was butter, butter, butter

Scraped up from the gutter,

 

There was gravy, gravy, gravy,

Enough to sink the navy ...

 

There were tables, tables, tables, 

With legs like Betty gables ...

 

There were chairs, chairs, chairs,

Floating down the stairs ...

 

There were lice, lice, lice,

packaged up like rice ...

 

There were ants, ants, ants,

Wearing rubber pants ...

 

There were kippers, kippers, kippers,

That go about in slippers ...

 

There was cake, cake, cake,

That gave us tummy ache ...

 

There were beans, beans, beans, 

As big as submarines ...

 

There were eggs, eggs, eggs,

That walk about on legs ...

 

There were turtles, turtles, turtles, 

Wearing rubber girdles ...
