A Little Dog-Woggy / Once walked round the World: / So he shut up his house; and, forgetting / His two puppy-children / Locked in there, he curled / Up his tail in pink bombazine netting, / And set out / To walk round / The World.
He walked to Chicago, / And heard of the Fair- / Walked on to New York, where he _never_,- / In fact, he discovered / That many folks there / Thought less of Chicago than ever, / As he musing- / Ly walked round / The World.
He walked on to Boston, / And round Bunker Hill, / Bow-wowed, but no citizen heerd him- / Till he ordered his baggage / And called for his bill, / And then, bless their souls! how they cheered him, / As he gladly / Walked on round / The World.
He walked and walked on / For a year and a day- / Dropped down at his own door and panted, / Till a teamster came driving / Along the highway / And told him that house there was ha'nted / By the two starve- / Dest pups in / The World.
