She milked it with a spanner
The milk came out in shilling tins
And little ones a tanner.

There was a young man from Bengal
Who went to a fancy dress ball
He thought he would risk it
And go as a biscuit
But a dog ate him up in the hall.

And all the time the band was playing
Schubert's Sarah neighed

There once was a man from Australia
Who painted his bum with a dahlia
The colour was fine
So was the design
But the smell was a bit of a failure
