ilk
And she had supped her bread and milk,
She grinned and told old Batteroff
How she got the whale to cough.

SIX LITTLE SALMON

I sing a funny song from away out west,
Of six little salmon with their hats on;
How they all left home--but I forget the rest--
The six little salmon with their hats on.

TO GARRY ON THE TOOT-TOOT

Oh, I want to go to Garry
On the toot-toot, toot-toot,
You and I together
On the toot-toot, toot-toot.
Go run and ask your mother
For some kind of cake or other,
And a bit of cotton wadding
For your ball-suit.
Get your bobber and a bat,
And be back as quick as scat,
For we've got to go to Garry
On the toot-toot.

DOUBBLEDOON

Bobbin rode a rocking-horse
'Way down to Doubbledoon,
He told his little sister
He'd be back that afternoon.
But maybe after all she didn't
Understand him right,
For he wasn't back again
Till the middle of the night.

And what did little Bobbin see
'Way down at Doubbledoon?
He saw a crazy Arab
Throwing bubbles at the moon,
A monkey making faces
And a rabbit in a rage,
A parrot shouting "Murder!"
From the ceiling of his cage.

At last a yellow jumping-jack,
A camel, and a coon,
Chased poor little Bobbin
All the way from Doubbledoon.

THE PARTY

Billy Bluebird had a party
In an elder tree,
But the little black-eyed smarty
Didn't ask us to his party
Neither you nor me.

This is what they had for dinner,
For I peeked to see:
Apple seeds and beetle finner,
And for drink the little sinner
Gave them tansy tea.

But there came an awful clatter
From that elder tree,
When he served them on a platter
Hopper-hash and brick-dust batter
Trimmed with celery!

All the folks were hale and hearty,
Happy as could be;
And that little black-eyed smarty
Left out of his funny party
Only you and me.

I'VE GOT A YELLOW PUPPY

I've got a yellow puppy,
And I've got a speckled hen,
I've got a lot of little
Spotted piggies in a pen.
I've got a gun that used to shoot,
Another one that squirts,
I've got some horehound candy
And a pair of woolen shirts.
I've got a little rubber ball
They use for playing golf,
