Butterflies, three blind mice Eight little maids in a box he met them He kept them, he carefully puts them Away for the rainy day, when Nothing's left No nothing's left to collect Whistling And sometimes he'd look in his catalog And it was like the whole wide World bundled up and waved, and He'd saved those waves, and he'd count Them he'd count them, cos he loved Counting things 3 french hens, 2 Turtles doves, a monkey in a big palm tree A bunch of green bananas that Are never ripe An orangutan who says I love you And you can pull a string And it grins and it, it's A happy little thing But it doesn't say much So it isn't much good company 15 934 plastic facsimilies of the Eiffel Tower, twenty percent of which were broken Because they were made in Taiwan so they weren't built to last at all And anyway the proportions Were completely wrong Because they don't have the Eiffel Tower in Taiwan all they have is pagodas and he Had many bagodas too he had Twenty-eight bagodas Which he shrunk with water and Kept them all in a Big trunk which he dug out from the sea From a huge wreck of this old Galleon, and he kept galleons too, many Many galleons with skeletons and Lots of treasure And he collected them he collected All the treasure in All the world, and he owned all the banks
