Lyrics
Keeping an eye out for Mary Mallon last seen in the city of York
Chasing a man through the streets of Manhattan with a real sharp kitchen fork
She was a minding her business tending to chores
Chopping up carrots and scrubbing those floors
Preparing the meals and meeting demands
But when she used the bathroom she forgot to wash her hands
Keeping an eye out for Mary Mallon the lady is on the run
She just up and vanished and left her employer she says she ain't hurting no one
She liked to cook and clean and make a good day's pay
But the typhoid fever seem to get in the way
Everyone around her is a coming down sick
But Mary shrugged it off and then she ran lickety split
She wouldn't comply she wouldn't assist
It wasn't her fault she'd scream and insist
She was only a cook she'd flatly conclude
Typhoid Mary you should not be cooking no food
Keeping an eye out for Mary Mallon she don't trust doctor's a bit
They say they could take her gall bladder out but Mary she wouldn't permit
Keeping an eye out for Mary Mallon cooking and spreading her germs
Refusing to wash after using the loo is giving me cause and concern
Keeping an eye out for Mary Mallon some say she's changing her name
She might be calling herself Breshof or Brown but she ain't changing her ways
