A lion has a tail and a very fine tail, br And so has an elephant, and so has a whale, br And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail– br They’ve all got tails but me. br br If I had sixpence I would buy one; br I’d say to the shopman, ‘Let me try one’; br I’d say to the elephant, ‘This is my one.’ br They’d all come round to see.
