Young John Bull went to visit his neighbor And see all the wonderful sights; He thought Paris a real fairy city Just out of Arabian Nights. But the language to him was a puzzle Why should bread be spelt like a pain, And how could e, a, u(o) mean water, What kept them from making French plain? Johnny said that his ears felt so homesick, Hearing only strange words all day, So, one morn when he wakened up early, A cock crowing not far away Quite enraptured surprised little Johnny, And made him cry out in his glee, Wake up, Daddy, that rooster speaks English! I want you to catch him for me.
