Johnny Crow's Garden

Johnny Crow

Would dig and sow

Till he made a little Garden.

And the Lion

Had a green and yellow Tie on

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Rat

Wore a Feather in his Hat

But the Bear

Had nothing to wear

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

So the Ape

Took his Measure with a Tape

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

Then the Crane

Was caught in the Rain

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Beaver

Was afraid he had a Fever

But the Goat

Said:

"It's nothing but his Throat!"

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Pig

Danced a Jig

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

Then the Stork

Gave a Philosophic Talk

Till the Hippopotami

Said: "Ask no further 'What am I?' "

While the Elephant

Said something quite irrelevant

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Goose—

Well,

the Goose was  a Goose

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Mouse

Built himself a little House

Where the Cat

Sat down beside the Mat

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Whale

Told a very long Tale

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Owl

Was a funny old Fowl

And the Fox

Put them all in the Stocks

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

But Johnny Crow

He let them go

And they all sat down

to their dinner in a row

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

"GOOD-BYE!"
