Three Cheers For Eggs

On the farm there's open space and blue sky up above
There's cows, and geese, and ducks, and pigs
And lots, and lots, and lots of

Eggs
Those roly poly things that only hens can lay
Eggs
They're everywhere you go, all the same in every way

Outside, they're like a white football
Inside, they're not like that at all
There's something special about those things called eggs

They're in your soufflés and mayonnaise
Well, don't you think it's time they got some praise?

Three cheers for eggs
They're really fun to eat, so you won't be surprised to hear
Eggs
50 billion eggs get eaten every year

Some are scrambled, some are fried
Some wind up on their sunny side
You've never met anyone who hasn't tried
An egg

They don't mind if you mistreat 'em
You can crack, and whip, and beat 'em
But most of all folks like to eat 'em

Some of those eggs will hatch into chicks
And grow up into hens
Those hens will start laying more eggs again

Eggs for your soufflés and mayonnaise
Well, don't you think it's time they got some praise?

Let's hear it for eggs
Hooray for eggs
Three cheers for eggs!
