I woke one sunny mornin' and looked upon the wall
Mr. Humpty Dumpty he was having himself a ball
I said, "Mr. Humpty Dumpty, please tell me like it is
I thought your shell broke apart working show-showbiz"
He said, "Son, that's where I was foolin' you, I wasn't broke at all
I just moved to the country, took my eggs off the wall
Oh, the country, the country where living's mighty tall
Got more eggs in the basket where them fresh fruits fall
Oh yeah! Put your eggs in the basket, eggs in the basket o' love
Oh no! Don't drop your basket when storm clouds are brewing up above
I've been workin' on the railroad all of the livelong day
Passing the towns and the countryside, watching the children play
I saw Jack-be-nimble, I saw Jack-be-quick
I saw Johnny-be-good rocking with his walking stick
Oh I saw Long-tall-Sally in the alley with Peggy Sue
And Bee-bop-bee-bop-a-loo-la stepping out in blue suede shoes
Oh yeah! Put your eggs in the basket, eggs in the basket o' love
Oh no! Don't drop your basket when storm clouds are brewing up above
So I hitched a ride on a fast train and arrrived on Blueberry Hill
On the dock of the bay a Chevrolet Coupé give everybody a thrill
Jack was climbin' on the beanstalk, Alice was in Wonderland
Mr. MacGoo and little Boy Blue were dancin' with Peter Pan
Oh the Lone Ranger and Tonto were pals on the Silver Screen
Trigger was poppin' bubble-gum and Tarzan was swingin' on the scene
Oh yeah! Put your eggs in the basket, eggs in the basket o' love
Oh no! Don't drop your basket when storm clouds are brewing up above
Jack in the box was chasin' the fox to the 21st century
When Venus started wearing blue jeans, the world found a way to agree
And the communist bloc went on the
Rocks and is rollin' to a new melody
Everyone is an island holdin' hands across the sea
That's right! Oh yeah!
(Oh yeah!) Put your eggs in the
Basket, eggs in the basket o' love (Wow wow)
Oh no! (No no no) Don't drop your basket when
Storm clouds are brewing up above (storm clouds)
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah! (Oh yeah!
) Put your eggs in the basket, eggs in the basket o' love (love)
Oh no! (No!) Don't drop your basket when
Storm clouds are brewing up above (storm clouds)
Everybody!
Oh yeah! Put your eggs in the
Basket, eggs in the basket o' love (yeah)
Oh no! (No) Storm clouds are brewing up above (storm clouds)
(Oh yeah! Eggs in the basket, eggs in the basket o' love)
