One day a funny kind of man Came walking down the street He wore a shoe upon his head And hats upon his feet He raised the shoe and smiled at me His manners were polite But never had I seen before Such a funny sounding sight
He said, "allow me to present Your highness with a rose" And taking out a currant bun He held it to my nose I staggered back against the wall And then I answered, "well I never saw a rose with such A funny looking smell"
He then began to sing a song And sat down on the ground You never heard in all your life Such a funny feeling sound "My friend, why do you wear two hats Upon your feet?", I said He turned the other way about And hopped home on his head
