A Tad Familiar?

The original version - 1942:





The version I learned as a kid:

Oh, I had a little turkey
And it wouldn't lay an egg
So I poured hot water up and down its leg
And the little turkey cried
And the little turkey begged
And the little turkey
Laid a hard-boiled egg

My husband said, 'Oh, soooo cruel'. And I said, 'I know, but I keep singing it every ten seconds when that truck comes by'. Winter does have its blessings . . .
