There were two little skeezucks who lived in the isle	A
Of Boo in a southern sea	B
They clambered and rollicked in heathenish style	A
In the boughs of their cocoanut tree	B
They didn't fret much about clothing and such	C
And they recked not a whit of the ills	D
That sometimes accrue	E
From having to do	E
With tailor and laundry bills	D
	-
The two little skeezucks once heard of a Fair	F
Far off from their native isle	A
And they asked of King Fan if they mightn't go there	F
To take in the sights for awhile	A
Now old King Fan	G
Was a good natured man	G
As good natured monarchs go	H
And howbeit he swore that all Fairs were a bore	I
He hadn't the heart to say No	H
	-
So the two little skeezucks sailed off to the Fair	F
In a great big gum canoe	E
And I fancy they had a good time there	F
For they tarried a year or two	E
And old King Fan at last began	G
To reckon they'd come to grief	J
When glory one day	K
They sailed into the bay	K
To the tune of Hail to the Chief	J
	-
The two little skeezucks fell down on the sand	L
Embracing his majesty's toes	M
Till his majesty graciously bade them stand	L
And salute him nose to nose	M
And then quoth he	B
Divulge unto me	B
What happenings have hapt to you	E
And how did they dare to indulge in a Fair	F
So far from the island of Boo	E
	-
The two little skeezucks assured their king	N
That what he surmised was true	E
That the Fair would have been a different thing	N
Had it only been held in Boo	E
The folk over there in no wise compare	F
With the folk of the southern seas	O
Why they comb out their heads	P
And they sleep in beds	P
Instead of in caverns and trees	O
	-
The two little skeezucks went on to say	K
That children so far as they knew	E
Had a much harder time in that land far away	K
Than here in the island of Boo	E
They have to wear clo'es	K
Which as every one knows	K
Are irksome to primitive laddies	K
While with forks and with spoons they're denied the sweet boons	K
That accrue from free use of one's paddies	K
	-
And now that you're speaking of things to eat	Q
Interrupted the monarch of Boo	E
We beg to inquire if you happened to meet	Q
With a nice missionary or two	E
No that we did not in that curious spot	R
Where were gathered the fruits of the earth	S
Of that special kind	T
Which Your Nibs has in mind	T
There appeared a deplorable dearth	S
	-
Then loud laughed that monarch in heathenish mirth	S
And loud laughed his courtiers too	E
And they cried There is elsewhere no land upon earth	S
So good as our island of Boo	E
And the skeezucks tho' glad	U
Of the journey they'd had	U
Climbed up in their cocoanut trees	K
Where they still may be seen with no shirts to keep clean	V
Or trousers that bag at the knees	K
