Johnny Crow
Plied Rake and Hoe
|
 |
And improved his little Garden.
|
 |
And the Eagle
|
 |
Looked quite regal
|
 |
In Johnny Crow's Garden
|
 |
And the Cockatoo
Said "Comment vous portez vous?"
|
 |
And the Gander
|
 |
Didn't understand her;
|
 |
But the Flamingo
Talked the same lingo
|
 |
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
|
 |
And the Bear
|
 |
Sang a sentimental Air,
|
 |
But the Giraffe
Was inclined to laugh;
|
 |
Even the Duckling
Couldn't help chuckling
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
|
 |
Then the Snake
|
 |
Got entangled with the rake
|
 |
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
|
 |
And the Cock
|
 |
Had a very nasty knock;
|
 |
So the Hen
Said:
|
 |
"We'll never come again
|
 |
To Johnny Crow's Garden!"
|
 |
And the Sheep
|
 |
Went to sleep,
|
 |
And the Armadillo
|
 |
Used him for a pillow;
|
 |
And the Porcupine
|
 |
Said: "Wake me if for talk you pine!"
|
 |
In Johnny Crow's
|
 |
Garden.
|
 |
And the Kangaroo
|
 |
Tried to paint the Roses blue
|
 |
Till the Camel
Swallowed the Enamel.
|
 |
And the Reindeer
Said: "I'm sorry for your pain, dear!"
|
 |
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
|
 |
So the Chimpanzee
Put the Kettle on for Tea;
|
 |
And the Seal
|
 |
Made a very big Meal;
|
 |
While the Sole
Shared a Muffin with the Mole
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
|
 |
Then they picked the Flowers, and
wandered in the Maze,
And before they went their several ways
|
 |
They all joined together
In a Hearty Vote of Praise
|
 |
Of Johnny Crow and his Garden.
