OLD NAPPER

Old Napper was a good coon-dog
Old Trailer was the same
Old Napper beat old Trailer so bad
It made old Trailer ashame

Foddy a ling a ding
Run about Napper, Ho!
Foddy a ling a ding
Run about Napper, ho!

The raccoon's tail is ringed all around
The possum's tail is bare
The rabbit, has no tail at all
But a little bunch of hair

Old Tom cat was so fat
He could not catch the mice
He lost the fine-tooth comb
And his head ran away with lice
