Jane the economy toaster Was cheap as appliances go Her unpolished sides were all greasy And as grey as suburbanite snow The edge of her slot was all melted And her tray was encrusted with crumbs Her lever was missing a handle And would nibble at fingers and thumbs She lived at the back of a cupboard With some rusty old pans and a spider In the gloom she would dream that somebody Would hammer a muffin inside her That some special son-of-a-baker Would fill up her dusty old holes With croissants and baguettes and bagels With waffles and tea cakes and rolls But alas with her family broken The whisk and second-rate kettle Her owners replaced the whole set With something more classy in metal And so in her murky wee crevice She wept and she twiddled her **** She twitched her lever with envy Of the toaster that lives by the hob Jane faded away and she vanished But in silicone heaven she boasts That she's Jane the economy toaster The maker of muffins for ghosts

Jane the Economy Toaster
Jane the economy toaster Was cheap as appliances go Her unpolished sides were all greasy And as grey as suburbanite snow The edge of her slot was all melted And her tray was encrusted with crumbs Her lever was missing a handle And would nibble at fingers and thumbs She lived at the back of a cupboard With some rusty old pans and a spider In the gloom she would dream that somebody Would hammer a muffin inside her That some special son-of-a-baker Would fill up her dusty old holes With croissants and baguettes and bagels With waffles and tea cakes and rolls But alas with her family broken The whisk and second-rate kettle Her owners replaced the whole set With something more classy in metal And so in her murky wee crevice She wept and she twiddled her **** She twitched her lever with envy Of the toaster that lives by the hob Jane faded away and she vanished But in silicone heaven she boasts That she's Jane the economy toaster The maker of muffins for ghosts
