LUCY LAKE

          Ogden Nash

 

Solo 1:                 Laws-a-massy, for goodness sake

                   Have you never heard of Lucy Lake?

 

Solo 2:                 Lucy is fluffy, and fair, and cozy,

Solo 3:                 Lucy is like a budding posy,

Solo 4:                 Lucy speaks with a tiny lisp.

Solo 5:                 Lucy’s mind is a will o’ the wisp.

Solo 6:                 Lucy Lake is meek as a mouse,

Solo 7:                 Lucy lives in a darling house

                   With a darling garden and darling fence

                   And a darling faith in the future tense,

Solo 5:                 Lucy tells us to carry on

                   It’s always darkest before the dawn.

Solo 1:                 A visit to Lucy’s bucks you up

                   Helps you swallow the bitterest cup.

Solo 6:                 Lucy Lake is meek as a mouse

All:             Let’s go over to Lucy’s house

          And let’s lynch Lucy!
