Johnny Crow's Garden

First Edition, 1903

Johnny Crow Would dig and sow
Till he made a little Garden.
And the Lion
Had a green and yellow Tie on
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
And the Rat Wore a Feather in his Hat
But the Bear Had nothing to wear
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
So the Ape
Took his Measure with a Tape
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
Then the Crane
Was caught in the Rain
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
Was afraid he had a Fever
Said:
"It's nothing but his Throat!"
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
And the Pig Danced a Jig
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
Then the Stork Gave a Philosophic Talk
Till the Hippopotami Said: "Ask no further 'What am I?'"
While the Elephant Said something quite irrelevant
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
And the Goose-- Well,
the Goose was a Goose
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
And the Mouse
Built himself a little House
Where the Cat
Sat down beside the Mat
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
And the Whale
Told a very long Tale
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
And the Owl Was a funny old Fowl
And the Fox
Put them all in the Stocks
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
But Johnny Crow He let them go
And they all sat down to their dinner in a row
In Johnny Crow's Garden.
