"a No,,-aaca Doam \


The greengizzard pipes In the peanuckle tree
And loud shrieks the gurzigazoon
The eel-king IS spoons on ne tuIue-topS 'ine'
And kisses his love TO the moon -.
The rattlethnCs dance TO the fipperty flute.
Hobgoblets are playing below, s.,. .,,t.
And the figures called by the froguemohs Cu'o'
AS they sit on the wall In row.
The livery lizard commences to ,siF sing
The sea-serpent waggles MS fall,
The kitnipatckets join hands in ring
And they ride the big bug on rail- Il
The gurgings are laughing way down in the grass
At Waggetall imp OF the sea,
And the gibbeing glllet IS trying 10 pass
TO make love TO the wiggledywee.
Then the gurzgazoon gives flip to his ear
The bracketbug throws the lean lizard leer
And kicks up his hornifed heel:
Including the maekeraloon
And they Join hands and fippers once more III Hnv
And dance round the gurzlgazoonI ,,,
