Jack Spratt
M. Herbert
Jack Spratt could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean.
Some like rosy apples,
I like them green.
Some, when they eat an egg
Only like the white,
I only like the yolk,
So that's all right.
Some like their beef done red,
Others like it brown;
Some like the country,
Others like the town.
Some like buttercups
And some like diamond rings,
Isn't it a mercy
We all like diff'rent things?
