IN THE FASHION
A lion has a tail and a very fine tail,
And so has an elephant, and so has a whale,
And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail—
They’ve all got tails but me.
If I had sixpence I would buy one;
I’d say to the shopman, “Let me try one”;
I’d say to the elephant, “This is my one.”
They’d all come round to see.
