The Party Lyrics

Billy Bluebird had a party

In an elder tree,

But the little black-eyed smarty

Didn't ask us to his party

Neither you nor me.

This is what they had for dinner,

For I peeked to see:

Apple seeds and beetle finner,

And for drink the little sinner

Gave them tansy tea.

But there came an awful clatter

From that elder tree,

When he served them on a platter

Hopper-hash and brick-dust batter

Trimmed with celery!

All the folks were hale and hearty,

Happy as could be;

And that little black-eyed smarty

Left out of his funny party

Only you and me.
