HORSE NAMED BILL
Traditional

I had a horse and his name was Bill,
And when he ran he couldn't stand still,
He ran away one day,
And also I ran with him.
He ran so fast he could not stop,
He ran into a barber shop and fell exhaustionized,
With his eyeteeth in the barber's left shoulder.

I had a gal and her name was Daisy,
When she sang, the cat went crazy,
With deliriums, St. Vitus and
All kinds of cataleptics.
One day she sang a song about
A man who turned himself inside out and
Jumped into the river, he was so very sleepy.

I went up in a balloon so big,
The people on the earth they looked like a pig,
Like mice, like a katydid,
Like flieses and like fleasens.
The balloon turned up with its
Bottom side higher
And fell on the wife of a country squire
Who made a noise like a steamhound,
Like a dogwhistle and also like dynamite.

Oh what can you do in a case like that,
Oh what can you do but jump on your hat,
On your toothbrush, your suspenders,
And anything that's helpless.
