PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

Willie had a little Wolff,Its fleece was black as ink,And every time that Willie lied,That Wolff was sure to wink;It looked as harmless as could beDressed in a pet lamb's hide,But everybody laughed to seeA hairy Wolff inside.
Sing a song of war-tales,Each a Teuton lie;Four-and-twenty canardsIn a neutral pie;When the pie was openedThe birds began to sing;I never saw a dish of duckSo wild upon the wing.
O dear, what can the matter be?O dear, what can the matter be?O dear, what can the matter be?Willie is out of the fair.
He promised to bring me a ribbon from Paris,A ribbon, a tricolor ribbon, from Paris,He promised to bring me a ribbon from Paris,But somehow he never got there.
