Part 1 — THE DANCING GOAT.

Reading edition

BY MRS. T. W. DEWING.

See! This Italian boy, Much to the children's joy. Has taught his goat With the furry coat To caper and prance To the tune of a dance, While he will play All a summer's day On his mandolin His bread to win. At night he'll lie 'Neath the open sky, With the grass for bed, And beneath his head For pillow the goat With the furry coat, And sleep till day, When again he'll play On his mandolin His bread to win.
