Every Thing On It

 

I asked for a hot dog

With everything on it.

And that was my big mistake.

‘Cause it came with a parrot,

A bee in a bonnet,

A wristwatch, a wrench, and a rake.

It came with a goldfish,

A flag, a fiddle,

A frog, and a front porch swing.

And a mouse in a mask-

That’s the last time I ask

For a hot dog with everything.
