Dj-a-y! dj-a-y! dj-a-y!”
Then spoke that brave bird, the yellow-breast Chat:
“Cop! Cop! Shut-him-in-prison-and-send-for-the-cat.”
And King bird commanded with spirit irate,
“Away with you, Blue Jay—or I’ll pounce on your pate.”
And the Jay slipped away,
With a sure word of peace,
For such glad release:
“Ge-rul-lup!
Jig’s-all-up!”
