Lyrics

(Folk tune, Traditional lyrics)

There was a young lady from Niger
Who rode with a smile on a tiger.
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger.

There once was a farmer from Leeds,
Who swallowed a packet of seeds.
It soon came to pass,
He was covered with grass
But has all the tomatoes he needs.

There once was a girl who said, “How
Shall I manage to carry my cow?
Every time that I ask it
To get in my basket,
It makes such a terrible row!”

There once was a farmer from Leeds
Who swallowed a packet of seeds.
It soon came to pass,
He was covered with grass,
But has all the tomatoes he needs.

A painter who lived in Great Britain
Interrupted two girls with their knitting.
He said, with a sigh,
“That park bench—well I
Just painted it, right where you’re sitting.”
