A USE-FUL les-son you may con, / My Child, from the Cha-me-le-on: / He has the gift, ex-treme-ly rare / In an-i-mals, of sav-oir-faire.
And if the se-cret you would guess / Of the Cha-me-le-on's suc-cess, / A-dapt your-self with great-est care / To your sur-round-ings ev-er-y-where; / And then, un-less your sex pre-vent, / Some day you may be Pres-i-dent.
