I
Fish Caught In Nantucket
There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who caught a big fish in a bucket.
To market he went,
But ne’er made a cent.
The fish it did rot so he chucked it.
II
Goosey Lucy
There was a young woman named Lucy,
Who looked for some fruit that was juicy,
An apple, a pear,
Or bright underwear.
The "Fruit Of The Loom" made her goosey.
III
The Barmaid, Miss Kitty
There once was a barmaid, Miss Kitty,
Who on the young cowboys took pity,
But they had to choose,
Free food and free booze,
Or all the youngs girls who were pretty.
IV
The Job In Kentucky
There was a young man from Kentucky,
Who once said, "My job is so yucky.
But I'll keep on workin',
And then get to lookin',
On retire some day if I'm lucky".
V
The Jury From Missouri
There was a young gal from Missouri,
Who once had to sit on a jury,
She said he was guilty.
Of loving then jilting,
And then running off in a hurry.
VI
The Teacher Named Felicity
There once was a teacher, Felicity,
Who saw that her student was fidgety.
She asked what was wrong,
He broke into song,
And promised to love her explicitly.
VII
Tough Guy From Brooklyn
There once was a tough guy from Brooklyn,
Who said that the cops could not book him.
But he was mistaken,
To jail he was taken,
And served out his time quite forsooken.
VIII
Wavy, Navy Man
There was a young man in the navy,
Who combed his hair all nice and wavy,
For a tall, sexy WAAC,
That he tried to attract,
She gave him a “No”, not a “Maybe”.
