The Doughnut Song

Burl Ives - The Doughnut Song



Well, I walked round the corner

and I walked round the block,

and I walked right into a bakery shop.



I picked up a doughnut

and I wiped off the grease,

and I handed the lady a five cent piece.



Well, she looked at the nickel

and she looked at me,

and she said "Hey mister, you can plainly see.



There's a hole in the nickel,

there's a hole right through."

Said I, "There's a hole in the doughnut too!

Thanks for the doughnut, good-bye!"
