VERSE
"WAY DOWN YONDER, NOT VERY FAR OFF,
THE JAY BIRD DIED WITH THE WHOOPING COUGH.
HE WHOOPED SO LOUD WITH THE WHOOPING COUGH,
THAT HE WHOOPED HIS HEAD AND HIS TAIL RIGHT OFF.
SAME SONG SECOND VERSE,
ONLY A LITTLE BIT LOUDER,
AND A LITTLE BIT WORSE."
Submitter comment:
VERSE REPEATED AS A CHILD: EACH TIME THE VERSE IS REPEATED,
"WHOOP" IS SAID LOUDER AND LOUDER.
