Peter Piper 1919 Cole Porter

It seems to me
that human history
is but a subject
sadly over rated,
Just take a look
at any hist'ry book
why, ev'ry tale you read
is expurgated,
for instance,
take the case of Peter Piper,
it's absurd,
for the unimportant half of it
is all you ever heard.

For when Peter Piper
picked a peck of peppers,
Peter Piper picked
a pippin too,
a perfect pearly
of a pretty girlie
with big eyes of baby blue,
and by the pace
they're setting
ev'rybody's betting
that they'll soon have
something to predict,
I know piles of people
who would climb a steeple
just to pipe the pippin
Peter picked.
