6JOHNNY CROW'S PARTY
7Plied Rake and Hoe
8And improved his little Garden.
9And the Eagle
10Looked quite regal
11In Johnny Crow's Garden
12And the Cockatoo Said "Comment vous portez vous?"
13And the Gander
14Didn't understand her;
15But the Flamingo Talked the same lingo
16In Johnny Crow's Garden.
17And the Bear
18Sang a sentimental Air,
19But the Giraffe Was inclined to laugh;
20Even the Duckling Couldn't help chuckling In Johnny Crow's Garden.
21Then the Snake
22Got entangled with the rake
23In Johnny Crow's Garden.
24And the Cock
25Had a very nasty knock;
26So the Hen Said:
27"We'll never come again
28To Johnny Crow's Garden!"
29And the Sheep
30Went to sleep,
31And the Armadillo
32Used him for a pillow;
33And the Porcupine
34Said: "Wake me if for talk you pine!"
35In Johnny Crow's
36Garden.
37And the Kangaroo
38Tried to paint the Roses blue
39Till the Camel Swallowed the Enamel.
40And the Reindeer Said: "I'm sorry for your pain, dear!"
41In Johnny Crow's Garden.
42So the Chimpanzee Put the Kettle on for Tea;
43And the Seal
44Made a very big Meal;
45While the Sole Shared a Muffin with the Mole In Johnny Crow's Garden.
46Then they picked the Flowers, and wandered in the Maze, And before they went their several ways
47They all joined together In a Hearty Vote of Praise
48Of Johnny Crow and his Garden.
