Jackie Horner 'round the corner
ev'ry single day,
spends his pennies for candy
then he gives it away,
kids from this street,
kids from that street,
they'll all gather there,
this is what he keeps saying
while he "divvies" out their share,

You take "deeze"
and you take "doze"
and I'll take some of "dem"
You take two and two for you
and all I'll take is ten,
I'll give you some of "deeze"
you give me some of "doze"
'Cause you like "deeze"
and I like "doze"
and "deeze" is nice
but "doze" is nicer,
I'll take three and three for me,
then I'll take three myself,
You can see I want to be your friend,
So, take some more of "deeze"
some more of "doze" but "den"
if you don't like "dem" "doze" and "deeze"
give me back "deeze" "doze" and "dem"

You take "deeze"
and you take "doze"
and I'll take some of "dem"
You take two and two for you
and all I'll take is ten,
I'll give you "dis" for "dat"
you give me "dat" for "dis"
Cause you like "dis" and I like "dat"
and "dis" is good but "dat" is gooder
I'll take nine and nine for mine,
then I'll take nine myself,
You can see I want to be your friend,
So, take a lot of "deeze"
a lot of "doze but "den"
if you don't like "dem" "doze" and "deeze"
give me back "deeze" "doze" and "dem"

For the neighbours he does favours,
running to the store,
then they give him a penny,
sometimes, two, three or four,
then the sweet things,
good to eat things,
he does right away,
kids all wait on the corner,
how they love to hear him say,

You take "deeze"
and you take "doze"
and I'll take some of "dem"
You take two and two for you
and all I'll take is ten,
I'll give you some of "deeze"
you give me some of "doze"
'Cause you like "deeze"
and I like "doze"
and "deeze" is nice
but "doze" is nicer,
I'll take three and three for me,
then I'll take three myself,
You can see I want to be your friend,
So, take some more of "deeze"
some more of "doze" but "den"
if you don't like "dem" "doze" and "deeze"
give me back "deeze" "doze" and "dem"

You take "deeze"
and you take "doze"
and I'll take some of "dem"
You take two and two for you
and all I'll take is ten,
I'll give you "dis" for "dat"
you give me "dat" for "dis"
Cause you like "dis" and I like "dat"
and "dis" is good but "dat" is gooder
I'll take nine and nine for mine,
then I'll take nine myself,
You can see I want to be your friend,
So, take a lot of "deeze"
a lot of "doze but "den"
if you don't like "dem" "doze" and "deeze"
give me back "deeze" "doze" and "dem"....
