First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black; 
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back; 
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw; 
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw; 
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk; 
Then I saw the monkeys-mercy, how unpleasantly they-smelt! 

Covetousness hath never end, 
And where is no end, is no rest; 
Where is no rest, peace doth wend; 
Where is no peace, God is a guest; 
For God Himself made His nest
Where peace made his bower, 
And there He dwelleth, our Saviour.

Once there was an elephant, 
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk; 
The more he tried to get it free, 
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong! )
