get in a quart bottle, is strange indeed!

You'll all be amazed to
See me get in,
And much more surprised
If I get out again.

To hear of a Frenchman eating a frog, is no news;
But to see a butcher stuck by a hog, is strange indeed!

Don't hollo!
'Tis only a knife,
You never stuck a pig
So easy in your life.

To see a gardener gather a salad, is no news;
But to see an ass singing a ballad, is strange indeed!

My voice is so fine,
And so charming the tune,
I expect for to sing at
The opera soon.

To see a man get a boat, is no news;
But to see a man jump down his throat, is strange indeed!

If I once get my legs in
As far as my knees,
The rest will slip down
With a great deal of ease.

To see a dog baiting a bull, is no news;
But to see a ram spinning of wool, is strange indeed!

Good lack a daisy!
How you grin,
To see a poor ram
Try to spin.

To see a tailor making a coat, is no news;
But to see a hog rowing a boat, is strange indeed!

Step into my boat,
I'll give you a row,
I'm an excellent waterman,
All of you know.

To see a man fish in a moat, is no news;
But to see a monkey shaving a goat, is strange indeed!

My lather is good, and
My razor is keen,
In two minutes time,
I'll shave you quite clean.

To see a miller grinding corn, is no news;
But to see an ox blowing a horn, is strange indeed!

I blow and I run,
And I run and I blow,
And which I do best,
I'm sure I don't know.

To see a shoemaker hammer his leather, is no news;
But to see a hound and a buck drinking together, is strange indeed!

Mr. Buck, I wish you luck.
Mr. Hound, your most profound.

To see a good boy read his book, is no news;
But to see a goose roasting a cook, is strange indeed!

I'll roast ye, and baste ye,
But who will may taste ye.

To see a beau at his toilet dress, is no news;
But to see two horses playing at chess, is strange indeed!

Mr. Horse, you don't play
Fair, but cheat:
Mr. Nag, you say so,
Now you're beat.
