Stan McCann's Dinner - by Eddie O'Hara Modern Day Nursery Rhyme lyrics Stan McCann A thinking young man Thought, "Hot sardines are better!"
So, off he ran And bought a can Of sardines for his dinner
Stan, heated the can In a frying pan Full of water and let it simmer
Then, taking the can From the frying pan He opened it up for dinner
On a chair sat Stan With fork and can Sprinkling his salt and pepper
But, as he began To eat from the can He said, "Cold sardines are better!"
