Lyrics

Hickety, pickety, my fine hen.

She lays eggs for gentlemen

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

People come from miles away

to see the eggs my hen can lay

Hickety, pickety, woe is me

for I have no eggs you see.

My hen got out and ran away,

and so I have no eggs today.

Hickety, pickety, here's what I'll do.

I'll give some of my eggs to you.

1-2-3 and 4

Now, your basket's full once more.

Hickety, pickety, what to do!

We have no eggs to see us through.

Our hen got out and ran away,

so we have no eggs today.

Hickety, pickety, here's what I'll do.

I'll give eggs to each of you.

1-2-3 1-2-3

Now, you both have eggs, you see!

Hickety, pickety, my fine hen.

She lays eggs for gentlemen

I gave all my eggs away,

but she'll lay plenty more some day.

Hickety, pickety, my fine hen.

She laid eggs for gentlemen

But she got out and ran away,

so I have no eggs today.

Hickety, pickety, here's what we'll do.

We'll give some of our eggs to you.

1-2-3 and 4

Now, you have some eggs once more!
