Listen in the reader

1 If all the world were paper, And all the sea were ink, And all the trees were bread and cheese, What should we do for drink?] 2 2 If all the world were sand—O! Oh, then what should we lack—O! If, as they say, there were no clay, How should we take tobacco? 3 3 If all our vessels ran-a, If none but had a crack, If Spanish apes ate all the grapes, How should we do for sack?
