Old Joe clark
I wish I had a nickel
I wish I had a dime
I wish I had a pretty girl
to kiss and call her mine
I will not marry and old man
I'll tell you the reason why
his neck's so long and stringy
I'm afraid he'll never die
my boy asked me to marry him
and what do you think I said
there's time enough to marry you
when all the rest are dead
Old Joe Clark he had a house
sixteen stories high
and every story in that house
was filled with chicken pie
I wish I had some bacon
I wish I had some eggs
I wish I could get Old Joe Clark
to shave his hairy legs
