Pea Shellin' Time

Out in the country

Down by the pond

The old cow is grazin'

Where she's so fond.

Out in the pond

The boys are a swimmin'

Dreamin' of fishing

And dreamin' of women.

Out on the dirt road

The kids are a yellin'

Playin' hopscotch and jacks

Watin' for the watermelon.

Out on the green grass

The girls are a chattin'

About this boy or that one

You would think it was all Latin.

Out in the garden

are Papa and Mamma

Pickin' peas for us to shell

And we say "Oh no" with such drama

Grab you a pan

And turn on the TV

We will all shell peas

Yes even me!

We'll shell and shell till

The shellin's all done

Then Mamma and Papa will say

Go have fun!
