The Songs of Simple Simon.
105
And as he wallops, he mutters low
Strange, incomprehensible words;
And now he swims as the fishes swim,
And now he flies like the birds.
You may laugh if you will at this tale of mine,
You may greet this song with a sneer,
But there surely can be no sadder sight
Than a Walloping Bandolier!
Simple Simon.
