Lyrics

Oh, I had a horse and his name was Bill And when he ran he couldn't stand still He ran away-one day— And also I ran with him He ran so fast he could not stop He ran into a barber shop And fell exhaustionized -with his eyeteeth— In the barber's left shoulder I had a gal and her name was Daisy And when she sang the cat went crazy With deliriums-St. Vituses- And all kinds of cataleptics One day she sang a song about A man who turned himself inside out And jumped-into the river- He was so very sleepy I'm going out in the woods next year And shoot for beer-and not for deer- I am — I ain't — I'm a grеat sharpshootress At shooting birds I am a beaut Therе is no bird I cannot shoot In the eye, in the ear, in the teeth In the fin(g)ers Oh, I went up in a balloon so big The people on the earth they looked like a pig Like a mice-like a katydid-like flieses- And like fleasens The balloon turned up with its bottom side higher It fell on the wife of a country squire She made a noise like a dog hound, like a steam whistle And also like dynamite Oh, what could you do in a case like that? Oh, what could you do but stamp on your hat And your toothbrush—and everything— That's helpless, helpless
