The Limerick Song

Chorus
Aye-aye-aye-aye
In China they never grow chilly
So sing me one more verse
That's worse than the first
Make sure that it's foolish and silly

A canner exceedingly canny
One morning remarked to his granny
“A canner can can anything that he can
But a canner can't can a can, can he?”

Chorus
Aye-aye-aye-aye
In China they never grow chilly
So sing me one more verse
That's worse than the first
Make sure that it's foolish and silly

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot
Said the two to the tutor, “Is it tougher to toot
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?”

Chorus
Aye-aye-aye-aye
In China they never grow chilly
So sing me one more verse
That's worse than the first
Make sure that it's foolish and silly

A certain young fellow named Beebee
Wished to marry a lady named Phoebe
But, he said, “I must see what a minister's fee be
Before Phoebe be Phoebe Beebee”

Chorus
Aye-aye-aye-aye
In China they never grow chilly
So sing me one more verse
That's worse than the first
Make sure that it's foolish and silly
