Edward Lear - Mrs Jaypher lyrics

Mrs Jaypher found a wafer Which she stuck upon a note; This she took and gave the cook. Then she went and bought a boat, Which she paddled down the stream, Shouting, 'Ice produces cream, Beer when churned produces bu*ter! Henceforth all the words I utter Distant ages thus shall note - 'From the Jaypher Wisdom-Boat.'' Mrs Jaypher said, 'It's safer If you've lemons in your head; First to eat, a pound of meat, And then to go at once to bed. Eating meat is half the battle, Till you hear the Lemons rattle! If you don't, you'll always moan, In a Lemoncolly tone; For there's nothing half so dreadful, as Lemons in your head.
