The Lyrics

Hoary homophone henway scam,
Henway scam--sophomoric as I am.
I wrest Henry from his window next door:
"Neighbor Henry, got a question for
Ya. Have you heard about the henway?"
He responds perfectly, as per my plan.
Scratches his pate, prates, "What a henway?"
I say, "'bout a kilogram."

Second verse, same as the first

[repeat]

H-E-N, then "way"
That's henway, a hen weighs
Just about a kilogram; I plan
Again the old henway scam.

Thanks, Alvin, Malcolm, Yoidy, JD (no more is right, although I am going for the Guiness record for most parodies of "I Put a Spell on You"), Merry (nope, but my fridge is running).
