HE awfullest thing that ever yet wuz

Is the Rackelty-snackelty-gagelty-guz,

That don’t eat nothin’ but little boys—

A crunchin’ their bones with the terriblest noise.

If ever I see him floppin’ around

I’ll dig a big hole down into the ground

And crawl away in till he loses the scent,

Not even breathin’ until he has went.

I guess that’ll fool Mr. Guz all right—

But I hope he don’t come when it’s late at night!

“The awfullest thing that ever yet wuz

Is the Rackelty-snackelty-gagelty-guz.”
