Oh! the King of Kanoodledum

And the King of Kanoodledee,

They went to sea

In a jigamaree—

A full-rigged jigamaree.

And one king couldn’t steer,

And the other, no more could he;

So they both upset

And they both got wet,

As wet as wet could be.

And one king couldn’t swim

And the other, he couldn’t, too;

So they had to float,

While their empty boat

Danced away o’er the sea so blue.

Then the King of Kanoodledum

He turned a trifle pale,

And so did he

Of Kanoodledee,

But they saw a passing sail!

And one king screamed like fun

And the other king screeched like mad,

And a boat was lowered

And took them aboard;

And, my! but those kings were glad!
