But haughty Pish-Tush-Pooh-Bah
Said, "Alack-a-Dey, what does this mean?"
And despairing Alack-a-Dey-Ah
Said, "They think us uncommonly green—
Ha! ha! most uncommonly green!"
Even blundering Doodle-Dum-Deh
Was insensible quite to their leers,
And said good little Tootle-Tum-Teh,
"It's your blood that we're wanting, my dears—
We have come for our dinners, my dears!"
