I don't care what they say
I'm going to keep it anyway
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg
With the little white specks

I found it in a tree
Just the other day
And now it's mine all mine
They won't take it away

Here comes Nancy here comes Lee
I've got what they want to see
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg
With the little white specks

I found it in a tree
Just the other day
And now it's mine all mine
They won't take it away

Oh darling what can they do
That little black egg's gonna tell on you
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg
With the little white specks

My little black egg
(repeat and fade)
