“Then Dick Canary hurt his throat,

He sang so loud on every note.

“‛Now, people love to eat of chicken—

If I stole one, I’d get a lickin’,

And then you’d hear an awful scream—

“Why don’t you give that cat ice-cream?”

A chicken and a bird to me

Seem much alike—do they to thee?

How classic is your pretty voice,

I love to hear you make that noise.
