The Peppery Man

(*Arthur Macy)
[** Disc 1:]


Oh the Peppery Man was cross and thin*
He scolded out and he scolded in
He shook his fist, his hair he tore
He stamped his feet and slammed the door

Heigh ho, the Peppery Man
The rabid, crabbed Peppery Man

His ugly temper was so sour
He often scolded for an hour
He gnashed his teeth and stormed and scowled
He snapped, snarled, yelled and howled

Heigh ho, the Peppery Man
The rabid, crabbed Peppery Man

He wore a fierce and savage frown
He scolded up and he scolded down
He scolded over field and glen
And then he scolded back again

Heigh ho, the Peppery Man
The rabid, crabbed Peppery Man

Well his neighbors, when they heard his roars
They closed their blinds and locked their doors
Shut their windows, sought their beds
Stopped their ears and covered their heads

He fretted, chaffed, and boiled and fumed
With fiery rage he was consumed
And no one knew, when he was vexed
What in the world would happen next

Heigh ho, the Peppery Man
The rabid, crabbed Peppery Man
Oh, never since the world began
Was any one, any one, like the Peppery Man
