Little Orphan Annie’s come to my house to stay.
To wash the cups and saucers up and brush the crumbs away.
To shoo the chickens from the porch

and make the fire and bake the bread
to earn her board and keep.

You know I feel alright
John Lennon & Paul McCartney performed by The Beatles
I took [...]
