Who Stole The Eagle From The Pantry


Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Tuesday afternoon?
“No no no” said the chef with his cleaver
Swaying from side to side like something
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Tuesday afternoon?

Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Wednesday afternoon?
“No no no” said the maid in the boudoir
As she swished her duster around like something else.
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Wednesday afternoon?

Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Thursday afternoon?
“No no no” said the pope with his mitre
Perched upon his head like mitres perch
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Thursday afternoon?

Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Friday afternoon?
“No no no” said the man in the fishshop
As he seved his meals with chips and mushy peas
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Friday afternoon?

Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Saturday afternoon?
“No no no” said the mute with his fingers
God how much his wife must love him.
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Saturday afternoon?

Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Sunday afternoon?
“No no no” said the god from above
Haven’t you heard that this is my day off?
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Saturday afternoon?

Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Monday afternoon?
“No no no” said the queen from her throne
As she addressed her loyal subjects.
Who stole the eagle from the pantry
On a Monday afternoon?
