ne. MIK. Describe it. TRIO and CHORUS. KO-KO, PITTI-SING, POOH-BAH and CHORUS. KO. The criminal cried, as he dropped him down, In a state of wild alarm-- With a frightful, frantic, fearful frown, I bared my big right arm. I seized him by his little pig-tail, And on his knees fell he, As he squirmed and struggled, And gurgled and guggled, I drew my snickersnee! Oh, never shall I Forget the cry, Or the shriek that shrieked he, As I gnashed my teeth, When from its sheath I drew my snickersnee! CHORUS. We know him well, He cannot tell Untrue or groundless tales-- He always tries To utter lies, And every time he fails. PITTI. He shivered and shook as he gave the sign For the stroke he didn't deserve; When all of a sudden his eye met mine, And it seemed to brace his nerve; For he nodded his head and kissed his hand, And he whistled an air, did he, As the sabre true Cut cleanly through His cervical vertebrae! When a man's afraid, A beautiful maid Is a cheering sight to see; And it's oh, I'm glad That moment sad Was soothed by sight of me! CHORUS. Her terrible tale You can't assail, With truth it quite agrees: Her taste exact For faultless fact Amounts to a disease. POOH. Now though you'd have said that head was dead (For its owner dead was he), It stood on its neck, with a smile well-bred, And bowed three times to me! It was none of your impudent off-hand nods, But as humble as could be; For it clearly knew The deference due To a man of pedigree!
