Mutiny In The Nursery

There's mutiny in the nursery

There's mutiny in the nursery

Mother Goose is on the loose

Her kids are swingin' out



There's mutiny in the nursery

And music in the nursery

Mother Goose is on the loose

You ought to hear them shout



If you could see miss Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones

If you could see miss Jenny Jones

You'd find her swinging lightly

And lately Mary won't get up

She won't get up, she won't get up

She stays out too late nightly



Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow

You and I and everyone knows how

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow



Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow

How they do it I don't know

But if you hand me my horn

I promise I won't blow no corn



Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

But she knows just where to find them

For they all stand around the bend

Waggin' their tails behind them



One little, two little, three little jitterbugs

Four little, five little, six little jitterbugs

Seven little, eight little, nine little jitterbugs

Ten little jitterbug boys

Ten, nine, eight little jitterbugs

Seven, six, five little jitterbugs

Four, three, two little jitterbugs

One little jitterbug girl



Mutiny, mutiny, must have mutiny

Mutiny, mutiny, must have mutiny

Swing out, kids, swing out



There was mutiny in the nursery when they all got loose

They began to yell for old Mother Goose



Get on down, all together

Get on down, take a gander

Get on down, struck on home

Don't miss the jamboree



Mutiny, mutiny, must have mutiny

In the nursery
