Little Birds are dining	A
Warily and well	B
Hid in mossy cell Hid I say by waiters	C
Gorgeous in their gaiters	C
I've a Tale to tell	B
	-
Little Birds are feeding	A
Justices with jam	D
Rich in frizzled ham	D
Rich I say in oysters	C
Haunting shady cloisters	C
That is what I am	D
	-
Little Birds are teaching	A
Tigresses to smile	E
Innocent of guile	E
Smile I say not smirkle	E
Mouth a semicircle	E
That's the proper style	E
	-
Little Birds are sleeping	A
All among the pins	C
Where the loser wins	C
Where I say he sneezes	C
When and how he pleases	C
So the Tale begins	C
	-
There was a Pig that sat alone	F
Beside a ruined Pump	G
By day and night he made his moan	F
It would have stirred a heart of stone	F
To see him wring his hoofs and groan	F
Because he could not jump	G
	-
A certain Camel heard him shout	H
A Camel with a hump	G
Oh is it Grief or is it Gout	H
What is this bellowing about	H
That Pig replied with quivering snout	H
Because I cannot jump	G
	-
That Camel scanned him dreamy eyed	I
Methinks you are too plump	G
I never knew a Pig so wide	I
That wobbled so from side to side	I
Who could however much he tried	I
Do such a thing as jump	G
	-
Yet mark those trees two miles away	J
All clustered in a clump	G
If you could trot there twice a day	J
Nor ever pause for rest or play	J
In the far future Who can say	J
You may be fit to jump	G
	-
That Camel passed and left him there	K
Beside the ruined Pump	G
Oh horrid was that Pig's despair	K
His shrieks of anguish filled the air	K
He wrung his hoofs he rent his hair	K
Because he could not jump	G
	-
There was a Frog that wandered by	L
A sleek and shining lump	G
Inspected him with fishy eye	L
And said O Pig what makes you cry	L
And bitter was that Pig's reply	L
Because I cannot jump	G
	-
That Frog he grinned a grin of glee	E
And hit his chest a thump	G
O Pig he said be ruled by me	E
And you shall see what you shall see	E
This minute for a trifling fee	E
I'll teach you how to jump	G
	-
You may be faint from many a fall	E
And bruised by many a bump	G
But if you persevere through all	E
And practice first on something small	E
Concluding with a ten foot wall	E
You'll find that you can jump	G
	-
That Pig looked up with joyful start	M
Oh Frog you are a trump	G
Your words have healed my inward smart	M
Come name your fee and do your part	M
Bring comfort to a broken heart	M
By teaching me to jump	G
	-
My fee shall be a mutton chop	N
My goal this wined Pump	G
Observe with what an airy flop	N
I plant myself upon the top	N
Now bend your knees and take a hop	N
For that's the way to jump	G
	-
Uprose that Pig and rushed full whack	O
Against the ruined Pump	G
Rolled over like an empty sack	O
And settled down upon his back	O
While all his bones at once went Crack	O
It was a fatal jump	G
	-
Little Birds are writing	A
Interesting books	C
To be read by cooks	C
Read I say not roasted	P
Letterpress when toasted	Q
Loses its good looks	C
	-
Little Birds are playing	A
Bagpipes on the shore	R
Where the tourists snore	R
Thanks they cry 'Tis thrilling	A
Take oh take this shilling	A
Let us have no more	R
	-
Little Birds are bathing	A
Crocodiles in cream	S
Like a happy dream	S
Like but not so lasting	A
Crocodiles when fasting	A
Are not all they seem	S
	-
That Camel passed as Day grew dim	T
Around the ruined Pump	G
O broken heart O broken limb	T
It needs that Camel said to him	T
Something more fairy like and slim	T
To execute a jump	G
	-
That Pig lay still as any stone	F
And could not stir a stump	G
Nor ever if the truth were known	F
Was he again observed to moan	F
Nor ever wring his hoofs and groan	F
Because he could not jump	G
	-
That Frog made no remark for he	E
Was dismal as a dump	G
He knew the consequence must be	E
That he would never get his fee	E
And still he sits in miserie	R
Upon that ruined Pump	G
	-
Little Birds are choking	A
Baronets with bun	U
Taught to fire a gun	U
Taught I say to splinter	R
Salmon in the winter	R
Merely for the fun	U
	-
Little Birds are hiding	A
Crimes in carpet bags	C
Blessed by happy stags	C
Blessed I say though beaten	U
Since our friends are eaten	U
When the memory flags	C
	-
Little Birds are tasting	A
Gratitude and gold	V
Pale with sudden cold	V
Pale I say and wrinkled	W
When the bells have tinkled	W
And the Tale is Told	V
