Sixteen quarts and whadda ya get?

Another 16 quarts and whadda ya get?

Another 16 quarts and whadda ya get?

Picked 16 quarts and whadda I get?
Another day older and deeper in pits.
Saint Peter dontcha call me ’cause I can’t go
Pitted 16 quarts; I got 16 more.

[With apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford and “Sixteen Tons.” http://youtu.be/L2tWwHOXMhI]

Picked all these cherries and more from one tree.
