But the camels don't care if you laugh at them With their bumpy humps like a capital M, They lurch and sway And seem to say, As they wrinkle their noses, long and gray, "This swaggering stride is quite the plan, It's the way we walked in the caravan!" BUT THE CAMELS DON'T CARE IF YOU LAUGH AT THEM WITH THEIR BUMPY HUMPS LIKE A CAPITAL M THEY LURCH AND SWAY AND SEEM TO SAY AS THEY WRINKLE THEIR NOSES LONG AND GRAY THIS SWAGGERING STRIDE IS QUITE THE PLAN IT'S THE WAY WE WALKED IN THE CARAVAN
Just look and see That pink-cheeked lady in skirts of gauze And the great big lion with folded paws! O me! O my! I'm glad that I Am not in that lion's cage, because _Suppose he'd open his horrible jaws!_ --But look! the clown is coming! Of course Facing the tail of a spotted horse And shouting out things to make folks laugh, And grinning up at the tall giraffe That placidly paces along and looks Just like giraffes in the picture-books! And there are the elephants, two and two, Lumbering on as they always do! The men who lead them look so small I wonder the elephants mind at all As they wag their queer Long trunks, and peer Through their beady eyes,--folks say they know No end of things, and I'm sure it's so! And you never must do a thing that's bad Or that possibly might make an elephant mad, For he'll never forgive you, it appears, And will punish you sure, if it takes him _years!_ So do not stare But take good care To mind your manners, and always try To smile politely as they go by! W DON'T YOU AND OH DEAR ME JUST LOOK AND SEE THAT PINK CHEEKED LADY IN SKIRTS OF GAUZE AND THE GREAT BIG LION WITH FOLDED PAWS OH ME OH MY I'M GLAD THAT I AM NOT IN THAT LION'S CAGE BECAUSE SUPPOSE HE'D OPEN HIS HORRIBLE JAWS BUT LOOK THE CLOWN IS COMING OF COURSE FACING THE TAIL OF A SPOTTED HORSE AND SHOUTING OUT THINGS TO MAKE FOLKS LAUGH AND GRINNING UP AT THE TALL GIRAFFE THAT PLACIDLY PACES ALONG AND LOOKS JUST LIKE DRAUGHTS IN THE PICTURE BOOKS AND THERE ARE THE ELEPHANTS TWO AND TWO LUMBERING ON AS THEY ALWAYS DO THE MEN WHO LEAD THEM LOOK SO SMALL I WONDER THE ELEPHANTS MIND AT ALL AS THEY WAKE THEIR QUEER LONG TRUNKS AND PEER THROUGH THEIR BEADY EYES FOLKS SAY THEY KNOW NO END OF THINGS AND I'M SURE IT'S SO AND YOU NEVER MUST DO A THING THAT'S BAD OR THAT POSSIBLY MIGHT MAKE AN ELEPHANT MAD FOR HE'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU IT APPEARS AND WILL PUNISH YOU SURE IF IT TAKES HIM YEARS SO DO NOT STARE BUT TAKE GOOD CARE TO MIND YOUR MANNERS AND ALWAYS TRY TO SMILE POLITELY AS THEY GO BY
