When partners can't agree br Their dealings come to naught br And trouble is their labor's only fruit. br br br Once Crawfish, Swan and Pike br Set out to pull a loaded cart, br And all together settled in the traces; br They pulled with all their might, but still the cart refused to budge! br The load it seemed was not too much for them: br Yet Crawfish scrambled backwards, br Swan strained up skywards, Pike pulled toward the sea. br Who's guilty here and who is right is br not for us to say- br But anyway the cart's still there today.
