And you never could guess what they had inside,

Nobody could guess, for the doors were shut,

And there was a dog that a monkey could ride.

A man on the top of a sort of cart

Was clapping his hands and making a talk.

And the elephant came—he can step pretty far—

It made us laugh to see him walk.

Three beautiful ladies came riding by,

And each one had on a golden dress,

And each one had a golden whip.
