A lion has a tail and a very fine tail And so has an elephant and so has a whale, And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail- They've all got tails but me. If I had sixpence I would buy one; I'd say to the shopman, 'Let me try one'; I'd say to the elephant, 'This is my one.' They'd all come round to see. Then I'd say to the lion, 'Why, you've got a tail! And so has the elephant, and so has the whale! And, look! There's a crocodile! He's got a tail! ‘You've all got tails like me!’
