IN THE FASHION
A lion has a tail and a very fine tail,
And so has an elephant, and so has a whale,
And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail—
They've all got tails but me.
If I had sixpence I would buy one;
I’d say to the shopman, "Let me try one";
I’d say to the elephant, "This is my one."
They'd all come round to see.
Then I'd say to the lion, "Why, you've got a tail!
And so has the elephant, and so has the whale!
And, look! There’s a crocodile! He's got a tail!
"You've all got tails like me!"
