Then there Dahl's from James and the Giant Peach:

Everybody clapped and called out for more songs from the Centipede, who at once launched into his favourite song of all:

Once upon a time
When pigs were swine
And monkeys chewed tobacco
And hens took snuff
To make themselves tough
And the ducks said quack -quack -quacko,
And porcupines
Drank fiery wines
And goats ate tapioca
And Old Mother Hubbard
Got stuck in the c –'

Look out, Centipede!' cried James. 'Look out!'
