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
