Oh once I had a little dog, It's color, it was brown
I taught him for to whistle to sing and dance and run
His legs they were 14 yards long, his ears so very wide
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride
Chorus:
Sing, tarry all day, Sing Autumn to May
Oh, once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red,
He'd lean upon his silver cane, A tophat on his head,
He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,
Of all the kings and queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe
Chorus:
Oh, once I had a flock of sheep that grazed upon a feather.
I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather.
And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town,
To bring me back some golden rings and candy by the pound
Chorus:
Oh once I had a downy swan, she was so very frail,
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail,
The snail, it changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly,
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie
Chorus: |
