there was an old lady she lived in a shoe    she got a whole lot of kids    you can't miss em when you's coming through    cause she be shacked up with little boy blue    but half them kids    ain't seen their pops since like 1982    but down the street next to the swap meet    that's the spot where the 3 little pigs    yo they be catching beef    they took tweedledee    and knocked out his front teeth    and left tweedledum just straight bleeding    on the back seat    I live on the corner man next to Jack and Jill    you know them two brother and sisters    who be acting ill    I tell em to step back and chill    but they'll smack ya grill    now let me tell you straight up    now you can catch the deal    you know Humpty dumpty man    they straight played him    knocked him off the wall scrambled him up    now and ate him    see I aint playing where I live    I got to stay praying    and every time I come around    y'all can hear me saying       [Chorus]   Mary had a little lamb case you didn't know    that little lamb took my sin made it white as snow    and every where that the lamb will go    that's the place I got to go man    I got to see the streets of gold       Sitting on the corner    with my tape recorder and Jack Horner    kicking freestyle raps for scraps of spare change    to change my money range and cry like Danny Ainge    till I make enough checks    to win back my ex girl friend    I can't pretend I didn't wish    that I'd never seen her ill demeanor    and this fly dish    and the spoon ran away broke out to Santa Fe    left me cold aint seen her since Saturday    but hey I got to say I been dissed since way back    bought a girl a knick knack but patty was wack    in fact I'll get em all back using my rap sheet    and make em outcast singing bah with the black sheep    and take them to phat beats and show them my work    and have them say I'm the man    and play them out like a jerk    and flirt with a wink and eyebrow on tilt    and leave them there while I go    to the house that Jack built singing.      [Chorus]   Don't get me started on Jack be Nimble    I mean that cat's the kind of dude    who just always seems to stay in trouble    he always got to hustle kicking it    with the 3 blind mice    on the corner selling magic beans rolling dice    now I be giving him advice    but he can't understand    Patty Cake? she used to chill w/ the bakers man    she got God in her life now    and if you see her right now    it's a whole another sight now    see I be quite proud    just to see how Christ showed and blowed up    and just turned her whole life around    sometime I'm wishing I was living in a nicer town    you know a place where London bridge    ain't always falling down    ya boy Old McDonald he's a little older now    he had a farm but well it's kind of gone for now    but see I'm a hold it down cause I got to stay praying    and every time I come around yall can hear me saying       [Chorus]
