When You Cook With Eggs

Tune: Vincent Youmans's "Great Day"

When you cook with eggs,
Make sure they still have legs—
Always insist on Grade A.

Those eggs on your plate?
Look at their "sell-by" date!
Trust me—they've had their heyday.

"Check for fresh albumens!"
Sez Vincent Youmans—
And (I assume)
Yolk-o Ono.

Open up the shell:
If it should smell like Hell,
Send out an urgent "Mayday,"
And trade it in for one that's Grade A.
