    JOHNNY CROW'S PARTY




    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.
