Parker Millsap – Quite Contrary lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mary, Mary quite contrary
How'd you get your eyes so scary?
Lost your pocket full of posies
Pawned your rings and cut your roses
Now I see you out struttin' on your corner
Working for a man named little Jack Horner

Alice, Alice, filled with malice
Got kicked out of her own palace
Tracks in her arm where she followed her rabbit
She picked up all his old bad habits
Steals her curds from little miss Muffet
Out in the alley learning how to tough it

[Chorus]
Ashes ashes hit the ground
All grown up and all torn down
Ashes ashes hit the ground
All grown up and all torn
Said all torn down

[Verse 2]
Hansel and Gretel heat up the kettle
Smelled like burnt old tires and metal
Hansel played chef, Gretel played dealer
Guard dog played by an old blue heeler
Hey diddle diddle, the cats on the moon
And the fork's got a lighter underneath the spoon

[Chorus]
Ashes ashes hit the ground
All grown up and all torn down
Ashes ashes hit the ground
All grown up and all torn
Said all torn down

Mary, Mary quite contrary
How'd you get your eyes so scary?
Lost your pocket full of posies
Pawned you rings and cut your roses
Now I see you out struttin' on your corner
Working for a man named little Jack
