Pieces of String

I'll have you know

Oh, I'll have you know

And if I had one, I'd play this on piano

And if I had one of those I'd sit it on my knee and count to

1, 2, 3

And if I had one of those other things

You know I'd put it in my mouth

And if I had some of those other things

Oh, I'd put them into jars on the shelf

But I'll have you know

Oh-oh, I'll have you know

And if I had ten or twenty

I'd have a choir of little children sing along

I'd have a choir of little children sing along

And I'll have you know

I'll have you know

That if she had one she'd put it in a paper bag

If she had one she'd put it in a paper bag, oh

This long-gone grandma would put it in a paper bag

Labeled pieces of string too small to use

Pieces of string too small to use

But her, her autumn leaves are now the dirt

And those summer winds did blow her hair

But now she's pieces of string too small to use

Oh, pieces of string too small to use

What's left is pieces of string too small to use

Pieces of string too small to use

Pieces of string too small to use
