    There was a little man who had a crooked leg
    He didn't want to work nor he didn't want to beg.
    He got four wheels and an old tin can.
    He called it a fool and the dam thing ran.
    There was a little man who had a little gun and up to the mountain he did run
    with a belly full of fat
    and a big tall hat
    and a pancake stuck to his bum, bum, bum.
