JOHNNY Hl-HI AND FANNY Foo-Foo

Fanny Foo Foo was japanese girl
A child of the great Tycoon;
She wore her head bald, and her clothes were
made
Half petticost, half pantaloon;
Her face was the color Of lemon peel,
And the shape Of a table spoon
A handsome young chap was Johnny HiHi,
And he wore paper muslin clothes;
His glossy black hair on the top of his head
In the shape Of a shoe brush rose;
His eyes Slanted downward. as If some chap
Had savagely pulled his nose
Fanny Foo-Foo loved Johnny Hill,
And when in the usual style
He popped, she blushed such deep orange tinge
You'd have thought she'd too much bile,
II it hadn't been for her slant eyed glance
And her charming wide mouthed smile.
And oft in the bliss Of their newborn love
Did these lhvie Psgans stray
All around in spots enjoying themselves
In a strictly japanese way;
She howIing a song to a one-string lutte,
On which she thought she could play.
Often he a climb to high ladders top,
And quietly there repose,
As he stood on his head and famed himself,
While she balanced him on her nose,
Or else she would set in a pickle tub,
And be kicked around on his toes.
The course Of true love, even in Japan,
Often runs extremely rough,
And the fierce Tycoon, when he heard OF this,
Used japanese Oaths so tough
That his courtiers hair would have stood on end
Ifthey'd only had enough.
So the Tycoon buckled on both his swords
In his pistol placed a wad,
And went out 10 hunt for the trlIant pair,
With his nerves bracad by a tod.
He found them enjoying their guieiess selves
On the top OF lightning rod.
Sternly he ordered the gentle FOo-Foo
To come down out Of that there"
And he told Hi HI 10 go to place
won't say precisely where.
Then he dragged of his child, whose spasms
Eyinced unusually wild despair.
But the Tycoon. alas, was badly fooled,
Despite his paternal pains,
For John with toOthpick, let all the blood
Out of his jugular veins;
While with a hack sonlersaut on the floor
Foo-Foo battered out her brains
They buried them both in the Tycoon's lot,
Right unders dogwood tree,
Where they could list TO the nightingale and
The buzz OF the humble bee;
And where the musquito's sorrowful chant
Maddens the restless flea.
And often at night, when the Tycoon's wife
Slumbered as sound as post,
His almond shaped eyeballs looked on a sight
That scared him to death almost;
Twas bald headed specter fitting about
With paper muslin ghost.
