Six Little Eskimo

SIX jolly little Eskimo Lived in the land of ice and snow. They played with their ivory dolls all night In a stuffy igloo with a smoky oil light. I wouldn’t live in a smoky igloo, Would you?

They dressed in seal-skin from hood to heel; I wonder how such a suit would feel! They chewed their blubber and smacked their lips And wiggled their toes and finger tips, But I wouldn’t like such food to chew, Would you?

And when they were tired of eating and play Their mammas stowed them safely away In the big white skin of a polar bear. Six little black heads in a row were there, But I wouldn’t like to be one of that crew, Would you?
