I don't care what they say
I'm gonna keep it anyway
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with it's little white specks

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

Here comes Mary, here comes Lee
I know what they want to see
But, I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with it's little white specks

I found it in a tree
Just the other day
And now it's mine, all mine
I won't let them take it away (away)

My little black egg
My little black egg
My little black egg
My little black egg
Don't touch my little black egg
Don't touch my little black egg
My little black egg
My little black egg
My little black egg
