The
Gypsy and the
lion
Went speeding in a car
And came upon a charming farm
Before they had gone far.
"The
party must be here," they said,
And found a place to park.
They waited near the
large red
barn
Until it grew quite
dark.
Out came
the moon and sparkling
stars;
They marveled at the sight.
A skylark started singing,
Making music in the
night.
"Let's
party!" said the lion
As he drank tea from a jar.
The Gypsy played the lute,
Which looks a lot like a guitar
The lion danced the Charleston
And did cartwheels across the floor.
The Gypsy marched around the yard
And played the lute some more.
But as the
yard grew darker,
The lark sang a slower tune,
And the Gypsy soon fell fast asleep
Beneath the harvest moon.
