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 Store.  

Chorus
My eyes are dim,
I cannot see,
I have not got my specks with me,
I have not got my specks with me,

Beansbig as submarines.  
Butter running down the gutter
Cheesewith knobby knees.  
Eggswith hairy legs.  
Goatseating all the oats.  
Gravyenough to float the navy.  
Micerunning through the rice.  
Ratsas big as alley cats.  
Turtles wearing rubber girdles.  
Girlswith pretty little curls.  
Tableswith legs like Betty Grables.  
Breadlike great big lumps of lead.  
Cakethat gives us tummy aches.  
Lardthey sell it by the yard.
