Two Old Kings

Oh! the King of Kanoodledum And the King of Kanoodledee, They went to sea In a jigamaree— A full-rigged jigamaree.

And one king couldn’t steer, And the other, no more could he; So they both upset And they both got wet, As wet as wet could be.

And one king couldn’t swim And the other, he couldn’t, too; So they had to float, While their empty boat Danced away o’er the sea so blue.

Then the King of Kanoodledum He turned a trifle pale, And so did he Of Kanoodledee, But they saw a passing sail!

And one king screamed like fun And the other king screeched like mad, And a boat was lowered And took them aboard; And, my! but those kings were glad!
