To hear of a Frenchman eating a frog, is no news;
But to see a butcher stuck by a hog, is strange indeed!
Don't hollo!
'Tis only a knife,
You never stuck a pig
So easy in your life.
To see a gardener gather a salad, is no news;
But to see an ass singing a ballad, is strange indeed!
My voice is so fine,
And so charming the tune,
I expect for to sing at
The opera soon.
To see a man get a boat, is no news;
But to see a man jump down his throat, is strange indeed!
