IA
On the top of the Crumpetty TreeB
The Quangle Wangle satC
But his face you could not seeB
On account of his Beaver HatC
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wideD
With ribbons and bibbons on every sideD
And bells and buttons and loops and laceE
So that nobody every could see the faceE
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee IIA
-
The Quangle Wangle saidF
To himself on the Crumpetty TreeB
Jam and jelly and breadF
Are the best of food for meB
But the longer I live on this Crumpetty TreeB
The plainer than ever it seems to meB
That very few people come this wayG
And that life on the whole is far from gayG
Said the Quangle Wangle Quee IIIA
-
But there came to the Crumpetty TreeB
Mr and Mrs CanaryB
And they said Did every you seeB
Any spot so charmingly airyB
May we build a nest on your lovely HatC
Mr Quangle Wangle grant us thatC
O please let us come and build a nestH
Of whatever material suits you bestH
Mr Quangle Wangle Quee IVI
-
And besides to the Crumpetty TreeB
Came the Stork the Duck and the OwlJ
The Snail and the Bumble BeeB
The Frog and the Fimble FowlJ
The Fimble Fowl with a corkscrew legK
And all of them said We humbly begK
We may build out homes on your lovely HatC
Mr Quangle Wangle grant us thatC
Mr Quangle Wangle Quee VB
-
And the Golden Grouse came thereL
And the Pobble who has no toesM
And the small Olympian bearL
And the Dong with a luminous noseM
And the Blue Baboon who played the FluteN
And the Orient Calf from the Land of TuteN
And the Attery Squash and the Bisky BatN
All came and built on the lovely HatN
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee VII
-
And the Quangle Wangle saidN
To himself on the Crumpetty TreeB
When all these creatures moveI
What a wonderful noise there'll beB
And at night by the light of the Mulberry moonO
They danced to the Flute of the Blue BaboonO
On the broad green leaves of the Crumpetty TreeB
And all were as happy as happy could beB
With the Quangle Wangle QueeK
