I tried to learn "Parsnoops," which is a real jawbreaker. I didn't get very far. Ended up with a few soggy fragments in my memory:

Oh, the parsnips were snipping their snappers
While the parsley was parceling the peas....

The turnips were passing the time of the day
In the night of the moon on the porch
.....
That the scallions were screeched in the scorch.

Or something like that.


And Walt Kelly himself booming his way through "Go Go Pogo" which sounds like a gazette/map/atlas resume of placenames.

something-something Wheela-Barrow SOMEPLACE IN MEXICO!
Delaware, Ohio and you don't need the text to go
Wheeling, West Virginia
With everything that's in ya
Down the line you'll see the shine
From Oregon to Carolina

Eeny meeny miny Kokomo go Pogo....gasp.
