There once was a fellow from Spain
Who walked round the town in the rain;
His brolly then bust
In the rain and the gust,
Who said it falls mainly on the plain?

She's here now
Why does it rain
On the leaves, on the floor;
On the clear window-pane
And all over the door.
Why is the sky
Dark, and heavy today?
She's here now
See now
All is OK.

There was an old lady from Surrey,
Always dashing around in a flurry,
'Til she fell in the street
Breaking both of her feet
She won't do it again in a hurry.

There once was a girl from Caerphilly
Who's clothes were all lacy and frilly;
They were poor insulation
It was no preparation
'Cause in winter Caerphilly is chilly.

There once was a man from Torquay
Who suffered from bites from a flea;
So he called for a nurse
But things turned for the worse:
He was stung by a ruddy great bee.

A young deep-sea diver named Dave
Was thought by his boss to be brave;
But - to avert the dread 'bends'
He'd send down his friends
Not for him was a lone early grave.

There was an old lady from Jarrow
Who found a distressed little sparrow;
His legs were O.K.
Though he'd walked a long way,
But his toes were just froze to the marrow.

There once was a dentist from Pilling,
Supposedly not a 'full shilling, '
But he'd drill your tooth out
And if none was about
He would craftily swipe your gold filling.

There once was a man on a diet,
Who was hoping to keep it all quiet,
But it came to the crunch
When he guzzled his lunch:
In his stomach there broke out a riot.

There once was a man with a mission,
To become an accomplished musician,
He would sit there and play
On his banjo all day
Praying soon it would come to fruition.
