Laughing Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An oily ole egg with a red peg leg
Thought a porquepine was his daughter
But he soon found out
That she had the gout
And often would wink underwater
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
A red red rose saw a big pig pose
On the edge of a silver dollar
The end of his tail
Was a long-necked nail
And in place of his face was a scholar
