0:25The Peppery Man was cross and thin;
0:30He scolded out and scolded in;
0:36He shook his fist his hair he tore;
0:41He stamped his feet and slammed the door
0:44Heigh ho the Peppery Man
0:53The rabid crabbed Peppery Man
1:01His ugly temper was so sour
1:05He often scolded for an hour;
1:10He gnashed his teeth and stormed and scowled
1:13He snapped and snarled and yelled and howled
1:17Heigh ho the Peppery Man
1:25The rabid crabbed Peppery Man
1:34He wore a fierce and savage frown;
1:38He scolded up and scolded down;
1:42He scolded over field and glen
1:46And then he scolded back again
1:49Heigh ho the Peppery Man
1:58The rabid crabbed Peppery Man
2:17His neighbors when they heard his roars
2:21Closed their blinds and locked their doors
2:28Shut their windows sought their beds
2:32Stopped their ears and covered their heads
2:36He fretted chafed and boiled and fumed;
2:39With fiery rage he was consumed
2:44And no one knew when he was vexed
2:47What in the world would happen next
2:50Heigh ho the Peppery Man
2:59The rabid crabbed Peppery Man
3:06Oh never since the world began
3:11Was any one like the Peppery Man
The Peppery Man was cross and thin; He scolded out and scolded in; He shook his fist his hair he tore; He stamped his feet and slammed the door Heigh ho the Peppery Man The rabid crabbed Peppery Man His ugly temper was so sour He often scolded for an hour; He gnashed his teeth and stormed and scowled He snapped and snarled and yelled and howled Heigh ho the Peppery Man The rabid crabbed Peppery Man He wore a fierce and savage frown; He scolded up and scolded down; He scolded over field and glen And then he scolded back again Heigh ho the Peppery Man The rabid crabbed Peppery Man His neighbors when they heard his roars Closed their blinds and locked their doors Shut their windows sought their beds Stopped their ears and covered their heads He fretted chafed and boiled and fumed; With fiery rage he was consumed And no one knew when he was vexed What in the world would happen next Heigh ho the Peppery Man The rabid crabbed Peppery Man Oh never since the world began Was any one like the Peppery Man
