¶Lyrics / Text

There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, "It is just as I feared!— Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard. There was an Old Man in a tree, Who was horribly bored by a bee; ⁠When they said, "Does it buzz?" ⁠He replied, "Yes, it does! It's a regular brute of a bee!" There was an Old Man who supposed That the street door was partially closed; ⁠But some very large rats ⁠Ate his coats and his hats, While that futile Old Gentleman dozed.
