Part 9 (2/2)

And that's the lesson for you and me.

There was a man in New Mexico, He lost his grandmother out in the snow; But his heart was light, and his ways were free, So he bought him another in Santa Fe.

_Chorus._

Sing ho! ho! ho! for New Mexico!

Sing he! he! he! for Santa Fe!

Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi!

And that's the lesson for you and me.

There was a man in Austra-li-a, He sat and wept on the new-mown hay; He jumped on the tail of a kangaroo.

And rode till he came to Kalamazoo.

_Chorus._ Sing hey! hey! hey! for Austra-li-a!

Sing hoo! hoo! hoo! for Kalamazoo!

Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi!

And that's the lesson for me and you.

There was a man in Jiggerajum, He went to sea in a kettle-drum; He sailed away to the Salisbury Sh.o.r.e, And I never set eyes on that man any more.

_Chorus._ Sing hum! hum! hum! for Jiggerajum!

Sing haw! haw! haw! for the Salisbury Sh.o.r.e!

Sing hi! hi! hi! for Geographi!

And that's the lesson the whole world o'er.

HIGGLEDY-PIGGLEDY.

Higgledy-piggledy went to school, Looking so nice and neat!

Clean little mittens on clean little hands, Clean little shoes on his feet.

Jacket and trousers all nicely brushed, Collar and cuffs like snow.

”See that you come home as neat to-night, Higgledy-piggledy oh!”

Higgledy-piggledy came from school, In such a woful plight, All the people he met on the road Ran screaming away with fright.

One shoe gone for ever and aye, T'other one stiff with mud, Dirt-spattered jacket half torn from his back, Mittens both lost in the wood.

Higgledy-piggledy stayed in bed All a long, pleasant day, While his father fished for his other boot In the roadside mud and clay.

All day long his mother must mend, Wash and iron and sew, Before she can make him fit to be seen, Higgledy-piggledy oh!
