Lyrics The Doughnut Song - Burl Ives

Well, I walked round the corner
And I walked round the block,
And I walked right into a bakery shop.
I picked up a doughnut
And I wiped off the grease,
And I handed the lady a five cent piece.
Well, she looked at the nickel
And she looked at me,
And she said "Hey mister, you can plainly see.
There's a hole in the nickel,
There's a hole right through."
Said I, "There's a hole in the doughnut too!
Thanks for the doughnut, good-bye!"
