Tall Tale

c 2003 Rachel Nelson

The eensy weensy spider

Climbed up the water spout

Down came the rain in a great big flood and

Washed the spider out

CHORUS: That’s such a tall tale (That’s such a tall tale)

That’s such a tall, tall, tall tale

That’s such a tall tale (That’s such a tall tale)

It just might be true.

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

His wife could eat no lean

And so betwixt the two of them

They licked the platter clean

CHORUS

Paul Bunyan had a big blue ox

He thought he’d name her Babe

And everywhere that ox would step

Another lake was made.

CHORUS

Big rich factory owners

Would hurt kids overseas

So one young boy began the work to

Bring them to their knees.

FINAL CHORUS: That’s NOT a tall tale (That’s not a tall tale)

Not such a tall, tall, tall tale

That’s not a tall tale (That’s not a tall tale)

It’s absolutely true.
