Kiddies and grown-ups too-oo-oo, If we haven't enough to do-oo-oo, We get the hump, Cameelious hump, The hump that is black and blue! We climb out of bed with a frouzly head, And a snarly-yarly voice. --- We shiver and scowl and we grunt and we growl At our bath and our boots and our toys; And there ought to be a corner for me (And I know' there is one for you) When we get the hump, Cameelious hump,--- The hump that is black and blue! The cure for this ill is not to sit still, Or frowst with a book by the fire; But to take a large hoe and a shovel also, And dig till you gently perspire; And then you will find that the sun and the wind, And the Djinn of the Garden too, Have lifted the hump, The horrible hump, The hump that is black and blue! I get it as well as you-oo-oo, If I haven't enough to do-oo-oo! We all get hump, Cameelious hump, Kiddies and grown-ups too! - How the Camel Got His Hump - I am the Most Wise Baviaan, saying in most wice tones, "Let us melt into the landscape, just us two by our lones." People have come, in a carriage, calling. But Mummy is there.... Yes, I can go if you take me, Nurse says she don't care. Let's go up to the pig-styes and sit on the farmyard rails! Let's say things to the bunnies, and watch 'em skitter their tails! Let's'-oh, anything, daddy, so long as it's you and me, And going truly exploring, and not being in till tea! Here's your boots (I've brought 'em), and here's your cap and stick, And here's your pipe and tobacco. Oh, come along out of it, quick! How the Leopard Got His Spots
