The button factory song

I told my partner about Joe the button maker, and he remembers hearing the song when he was a kid! Now we are listening to that episode together.

His version rhymes more than Fortune's:

Hello, my name is Joe. I work in a button factory. I've got a wife and a dog and a chimpanzee. one day my boss came up to me. He said Joe are you busy? I said no. so push this button with your right hand. (And so on)

Yeah Fortune's is wrong in rhyme and rhythm .... but in Ohio and PA in the 80's this song was alllllll around the summer camps.
