Little Boy Blue…
Is that Australian for red
Or American for sad?
Come blow your horn
Ah, yes – American –
O, say, I see can!
The sheep’s in the meadow
The cow’s in the corn
Well, where else would they be?
Somewhere up a tree?
Where’s the boy who looks after the sheep?
Who cares? Where’s Little Boy Blue
Who plays his horn so true?
He’s under the haystack fast asleep.
Good grief! Get help right away—
He’ll suffocate if left to stay.
Will you wake him?
Will you come too?
Oh, no, not I. For if I do, he’ll surely cry.
So he’s the Little Boy Blue?
What a gyp! Wake him, wake him, do.
Leave him safe though crying ‘boohoo’.
He’s not a player I would woo.
I’d rather go to the zoo.
