The steaming, screaming _cal li o pe_! Just plain pianos sound terribly tame Beside this one with the wonderful name, And wouldn't you love some day to sit In a circus wagon and play on it? THE STEAMING SCREAMING CALLIOPE JUST PLAYING PIANO SOUND TERRIBLY TAME BESIDE THIS ONE WITH A WONDERFUL NAME AND WOULDN'T YOU LOVE SOME DAY TO SIT IN A CIRCUS WAGON AND PLAY ON IT
ow 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! 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!" And now more cages come rumbling by With glittering people throned on high; So many spangles and precious things, They surely must all be queens and kings! They look so proud Above the crowd, O my, how fine it must feel to ride On golden wagons that hide inside Strange animals caught in cannibal isles And brought in ships for a million miles! But hark! it's near The end, for hear That sudden screeching in piercing key! EADY 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 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 AND NOW MORE CAGES COME RUMBLING BY WITH GLITTERING PEOPLE THRONED ON HIGH SO MANY SPANGLES AND PRECIOUS THINGS THEY SURELY MUST ALL BE QUEENS AND KINGS THEY LOOK SO PROUD ABOVE THE CROWD OH MY HOW FINE IT MUST FEEL TO RIDE ON GOLDEN WAGONS THAT HIDE INSIDE STRANGE ANIMALS CAUGHT IN CANNIBAL ISLES AND BROUGHT IN SHIPS FOR A MILLION MILES BUT HARK IT'S NEAR THE END FOR HERE THAT SUDDEN SCREECHING IN PIERCING KEY
