THE THREE JOLLY HUNTERS
O there were three jolly hunters;And a-hunting they did go,With a spaniel-dog, and a pointer-dog,And a setter-dog also.Looky there!And they hunted and they hal-looed;And the first thing they did findWas a dingling-dangling hornet’s-nestA-swinging in the wind.Looky there!And the first one said—“What is it?”Said the next, “We’ll punch and see”:And the next one said, a mile from there,“I wish we’d let it be!”Looky there!And they hunted and they hal-looed;And the next thing they did raiseWas a bobbin’ bunny cottontailThat vanished from their gaze.Looky there!One said it was a hot base-ball,Zipped through the brambly thatch,But the others said ’twas a note by post,Or a telegraph-dispatch.Looky there!So they hunted and they hal-looed;And the next thing they did sightWas a great big bulldog chasing them,And a farmer, hollerin’ “Skite!”Looky there!And the first one said, “Hi-jinktum!”And the next, “Hi-jinktum-jee!”And the last one said, “Them very wordsHad just occurred to me!”Looky there!
