The rhyme scheme and meter appropriated from I Know an Old Lady as written by Rose Bonne (lyrics) and Canadian/English folk artist Alan Mills copyrighted in 1952. Sung by a young Burl Ives in the video below.
CLOTHESPIN OPTIONAL
Who lives in a shoe.
Everyday he has
Nothing to do.
But cavil and sigh.
I know a guy
Who swallowed some poo.
No one knows why
He swallowed doo doo.
I know why he did that jig.
He swallowed doo to help a Pig.
Let's make him cry.
He swallowed doo to help a Pig.
Let's make him cry.
I know a guy with bleeding eye.
I know why he's covered fly.
It's all because he swallowed pig doo.
Smells foul now morning poo from the prig do.
Cavil and sigh.
