And Tish Ah Tsu,

And the baby was named Ker Chee,

And their Uncle Ker Chawl

And his wife were all

Of the Snee Zee fam-i-lee,

And when the mamma stood and called her children from the door,

You would laugh and laugh for an hour and a half if never you laughed before.

“Ah Cheu,” she’d say in her feminine way, “bring in little Ker Chee,

And Tish Ah Tsu, bring him in, too, to the Snee Zee fam-i-lee.”

Alas and alack! but my voice will crack as the mournful tale I tell.
