Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back.
Chorus of Children Then I saw the camel with a HUMP upon his back! Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw; Then I saw the wambat waddle in the straw; Then I saw the elephant with his waving trunk, Then I saw the monkeys -- mercy, how unpleasantly they -- smelt!" There. No one can beat that piece of wit, can he Bob? And so it is over; but we had a jolly time, whilst you were with us, hadn't we? Present my respects to the doctor; and I hope, my boy, we may spend another merry Christmas next year. |
