Listen in the reader

Dainty Baby Austin! Your Daddy’s gone to Boston To see the King Of Oo-Rinktum-Jing And the whale he rode acrost on!

Boston Town’s a city: But O it’s such a pity!— They’ll greet the King Of Oo-Rinktum-Jing With never a nursery ditty!

But me and you and Mother Can stay with Baby-brother, And sing of the King Of Oo-Rinktum-Jing And laugh at one another!

So what cares Baby Austin If Daddy has gone to Boston To see the King Of Oo-Rinktum-Jing And the whale he rode acrost on?
