THE SPANISH NOBILLIO

There once was a Spanish Nobillio
Who lived in an ancient castillio.
He was proud of his tra-la-la-lillio
And the works of his razzle-dum-dee!

One day he went to the theatillio,
And there he saw a lovely dancillio,
Who excited his tra-la-la-lillio
And the works of his tweedle-dum-dee!

He took her up to his castillio,
And laid her upon his sofillio,
And then inserted his tra-la-la-lillio
In the works of her tweedle-dum-dee!

Nine days later he saw the doctillio.
He had a fine dose of clapillio
All over his tra-la-la-lillio
And the works of his tweedle-dum-dee!

Now he sits in his lonely castillio,
With a handful of cotton-wadillio,
And he swabs off his tra-la-la-lillio
And the works of his tweedle-dum-dee!
