Turn back the clock
And recall what you did
Back on the block where
You lived as a kid
And if you think every kid nowadays
Is a nut or a kook or a fool
Just turn back the clock
And recall what you said
When you were a kid in school
Ah, your mother wears army shoes
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

Teacher, teacher, I declare
I see your purple underwear
Margarite, go wash your feet
The board of health's across the street
Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice
Pull down your pants and slide on the ice
Inka binka, bottle of ink
The cork fell out and you stink
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

Mary had a little lamb
The doctor was surprised
Mary had a little lamb
She also had a bear
I've often seen her little lamb
But I've never seen her bare
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

Roses are red, violets are blue
I copied your paper and I flunked too
Roses are red, violets are blue
Whenever it rains, I think of you, drip, drip, drip
Roses are red, violets are blue
I still say your mother wears army shoes
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

Your mother is a burglar
Your father is a spy
And you're the dirty little rat
Who told the FBI
Dirty lil', dirty lil'
Lives on top of garbage hill
Never took a bath and never will
Yuck, pooey, dirty lil'

Oh, what a face?
Oh, what a figure?
Two more legs
And you'd look like trigger
A B C D goldfish?
L M N O goldfish?
S A R 2 goldfish, C M?

Turn back the clock

Back on the block where
You lived as a kid
And if you think every kid nowadays
Is a nut or a kook or a fool
Just turn back the clock
And recall what you said
When you were a kid in school
There goes your father
Wearing your mother's army shoes
