MINNIE-MINNIE HA-HA
WENT TO SEE HER PAPA.
PAPA DIED;
MINNIE-MINNIE CRIED.
MINNIE HAD A BABY,
SHE NAMED HIM TINY TIM.
SHE PUT HIM IN THE BATHTUB TO SEE IF HE COULD SWIM.
DRANK A GALLON OF WATER
AND ATE A BAR OF SOAP.
TRIED TO SWALLOW THE BATHTUB
BUT IT WOULDN'T GO DOWN HIS THROAT.
IN CAME THE DOCTOR,
IN CAME THE NURSE,
IN CAME THE LADY WITH THE ALLIGATOR PURSE.
OUT CAME THE DOCTOR,
OUT CAME THE NURSE,
OUT CAME THE LADY WITH THE ALLIGATOR PURSE.
AND THAT WAS THE END OF TINY TIM.
