The Jaunty Little Ditty
A flighty little pixie with a little tartan hat
sang a jaunty little ditty on a little tartan mat
to a laughing little man-child who was sitting on a log
(with a scrummy little picnic and a little waggy dog)
about a horrid nasty dragon with a great big appetite
who ate any little man-child who had come into his sight.
The flighty little pixie's evil to his little boots
he and the horrid dragon-beast are really in cahoots.
The enchanted boy was gobbled up in one big dragon bite
and the little waggy dog could never put up much of a fight.
So the pair move on to try their ruse in other towns and cities
and gobble up those not taking care because they're reading ditties.
(Now look behind you)
