Sometimes I am so sorry that my papa is a king, / It's really most annoying and hurts like everything / To have the little girls and boys all want to run away, / For if I am a Lion prince, I'm a baby, anyway!
Some jungle boys, by mischief made quite bold, / Once took the baby Tiger, so we're told, / And in broad stripes they smeared his coat so fine, / And 'round his neck they hung a "Fresh Paint" sign.
