Nonsense 1906

An elephant and a kangaroo
went up in a big balloon;
Said the elephant to the kangaroo:
"If you'll listen I'll sing you a tune."
He opened his trunk
to get the words
but found they were not there,
So he whistled the tune
of "The Same Old Moon"
for he was up in the air.

Nonsense, nonsense,
such nonsensical nonsense.
Such ridiculous foolishness
I never heard before.
Said the elephant to the kangaroo:
"We're falling down cheroo! cheroo!
But they both were treed
couldn't check their speed
so the elephant checked his trunk.

Nonsense, nonsense,
such nonsensical nonsense.

Now Mister and Mrs. Mayonaise
were dressing to go to dine,
They never appeared
till after the soup,
and they vanished
before the wine.
The lobster salad got very red,
the lettuce said: "Let us pray."
And the white fish
jumped on a pair of scales
in order get a weigh.

Nonsense, nonsense,
such nonsensical nonsense.
Such ridiculous foolishness
I never heard before.
Mister Shad took a roe
in the gravy boat,
the peach removed his fuzzy coat
put the cabbage to bed
with an awful head
these are only asparagus tips.
