lam happy little boy,
Upon slippery pole,
And you are n vicious little dog,
Barking with oil your soul.
l feel us merry as one can feel
Who knows he's at the top;
so bark, little doGge. and bark away;
When you're tired out, you'll stop.
Stay right where you are md show your teet
I'll keep you here if can
For q little while, when along will come
My father, the dog-pound man.
He'll scoop you in. and he'll coop you up
And empty you in the sea;
And I'll slide down tho slippery pole
And gather in half the fee.
