Joan Sugarbeet Album: The Ever Decreasing Circle - Artist: The Kipper Family There were three men came out of the East Their fortunes for to try And these three men made a solemn vow Joan Sugarbeet should die They plowed, they sowed, they harrowed her in Threw clods upon her head And these three men made a solemn vow Joan Sugarbeet was dead They let her lie for a very long time Till the rain from heaven did fall Then little lady Joan sprung uo her head And soon amazed them all They let her stand till midwinter Till she looked both flaccid and green And little Lady Joan she grew a big bottom And so became a queen They hired men with hands so strong To pull her out of bed They cut her in half around the waist And threw away her head They hired men with sharp pitchforks Who piled her by the road But the driver he served her worse than that For he threw her upon his load They rolled her along and along the road Till at Cantley they did meet And there they made a bloody great stack Of poor Joan Sugarbeet They hired men with choppers so huge To chop her into bits And the Sugar Corporation served her worse than that For they drowned her in a pit Here's little Lady Joan in a china cup And lumps all in a bowl And little Lady Joan in the china cup She proved the sweeter girl For the office boy can't balance his books Nor keep his desk so neat And the housewife can't enjoy her cup of P. G. Tips Without a little bit of Joan Sugarbeet Joan Sugarbeet
