Not only with thwowdth
Magic wandth, and hectheth, but with
Youw noodle, and thatth no myth, Mith!
Tho follow your tale, little one
And follow it faw
On thtiltth and on thteamshipth
By camel and caw
You'll thometimeth get lotht, little one
Ow wind up in jail
But, plaything, keep chathing youw tale!

It's hard to do a thing when you might fail

When you might lothe an eaw, thome fuw, youw tail!

It's easier by far to sit and grouse

But awe you jutht a man?

Whewevew it go
Meandewing thwough matheth
And denting thwough thnow
You'll pwobably gwow, little one
Ath big ash a whale
Amathing? Keep chathing youw tale
O! Follow youw tale
