Analysis of Muffet
Ragen Rogers 1977 (CA)
Itsy bitsy spider tipsy
Waddling down water spouts
Down came paney rainy
Washing web waddler out
Down down with the sound
Prancing, and dancing around
Around around all around
Till webber couldn't be found
Little Miss Muffet
Roughs it on her tuffet
The cigar at the bar
Claims she tried to puff it
PeterPan stalks Sam I Am
Yelling Peter Sam I am I am
Earing green eggs & ham
From garbage can of Sam
Tweety & Puddy
Are at it again
Then Tweety the sweety
Got eaty and then
Scooby the Dooby
Ate Puddy the cat
Then shit on the tuffet
Where Muffet once sat
