Once I knew a nipper, a greedy little kipper, Once a fella said to me, I know where there is a tree, Laden up with fruit, warranted to suit, Anybody great or small. So I went and did a bunk, I went to get a trunk, I didn't mean to get a few, I meant to get a ton or two, Of apples off the tree, wasn't greedy 'cos you see, I'm very very fond of fruit. So off I went to have a look at 'em, I just cocked my leg upon the wall, When my blood turned pale and a seven inch nail, Went right up you know, where the monkey has a tail, And I never had a look at 'em at all
