The Little Black Egg

I don't care what they say
I'm going to keep it anyway
I won't let them stretch their necks
to see my little black egg
with the little white specks
I found it in a tree
just the other day
and now it's mine all mine
they won't take it away
here comes Nancy here comes Lee
I've got what they want to see
I won't let them stretch their necks
to see my little black egg
with the little white specks
I found it in a tree
just the other day
and now it's mine all mine
they won't take it away
oh darling what can they do
that little black egg's gonna tell on you
I won't let them stretch their necks
to see my little black egg
with the little white specks
my little black egg
[repeat and fade]
