Elephants (The Force of Habit---Round)
A.E. Housman, Johan Franco

A tail behind, a trunk in front complete the usual elephant
The tail in front, the trunk behind is what you very seldom find.
If you for specimens should hunt with trunks behind and tails in front
That hunt will occupy you long, the force of habit is so strong.

Here Lies a Woman (Round)
Hilton

[1] Here lies a woman. Who can deny it?
    She died in peace tho' lived unquiet.

[2] Her husband prays if o'er her grave you walk
    You would tread soft, you would tread

[3] Soft, for if she wakes, for if she wakes
    She'll talk, tread soft, for if she wakes, she'll talk.

Miss Smith

(1) Oh Miss Smith, Oh do be careful. Do not heed that wolf. His
          honey dripping
(2) Words, Miss Smith, will break your tender heart! He
(3) Says you're sweet, he says you're pretty, says he'll never
          kiss another girl. But if he does, he'll still be true
          to you, the mean deceiver.

Mister Bach

(1) Mister Bach wrote several tunes just like this.
(2) Organ sonatas, fugues, cantatas, I never know which is which.


Perfect Woman

No perfect woman lives, so poor a thing is life
How can a perfect man obtain a perfect wife?
No perfect woman lives. And yet
So rich a thing is life that every perfect man can get
A perfect woman for his wife, a perfect woman for his wife.
