I want you to dig my neighbors, man (yeah) 
They something else
Now check this

Jack Sprat had a chick that was fat
She used to feed him all of the lean
The pied piper had his own little band
And they were cooking, if you know what I mean
Jack Horner had his own little corner
He used to sit in it day and night
Humpty Dumpty had his own little wall
He just leaned a little far to the right (how 'bout that?)
There was an old lady who lived in a shoe
She had so many kids she had to buy herself a stool

Ha, but the chick was smart, man (yeah, man)
You know what she did? (What she do, man?)
She play on the welfare for the money (how she do that, man?)
Money in the hand, the government plan (oh, I see)
Now check the next one

Now, Jack and Jill went up the hill 
Just to see what's on the other side
Mother Hubbard had a very large cupboard
She had plenty of bones to hide
Miss Muffin she sit on her tuffin
'Til a spider sat down beside now, listen
The farmer in the dell they had an old grey mel
Used to get on his pony and ride
Jack was limber and Jack was quick
I saw Jack jump over the candlestick

Yeah, he made it, man (yeah, he did, huh?)
Yeah, he finally got over (I don't think he made it)
Yeah, now check the next ones (uh)
I want you to dig this now (who is this here with all this red on?)
I'll tell you about it (oh, okay)
Now listen

Lil Bo Peep had lost her sheep
So she went down to the lost and found
On the way she met the big bad wolf
He was tryna blow the pigs house down
Now King Cole was a swinging soul
He used to swing every night until three
One morning I heard a loud noise
You know the fool had moved next door to me (yeah?)
Now Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater
Had a wife and couldn't keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well

(How 'bout that?) See what's crazy, man
(Yeah, he must've loved her a whole lot)
This is a crazy neighborhood
Why'd you move down here for?
Oh, man, last week
But let me tell you, I moved down here 'cause I wanted to
Oh, yeah?
Now check, the rent man come twice a week
And I don't have no hot water (ydon't have no hot water)
Man, I got to move away from here (man, I see that)
I got to move (they do this all the time?)
I got to move, yeah
They do it all the time
I got to move, yeah
I got to move
