Complainin’ Jack
This morning my old jack-in-the-box
Popped out-and wouldn’t get back-in-the-box
He cried, “Hey theres a tack-in-the-box,
And it’s cutting me through and through.
“There also is a crack-in-the-box,
And I never find a snack-in-the-box,
And sometimes I hear a quack-in-the-box,
‘Cause a duck lives in here too.
Complain,complain is all he did-
I finally had to close the lid.
