R. CRUSOE, JUN.
If I was wweeked, like Robinson, Upon a desert isle. I’d put my yellow bathers on, If I was wrecked, like Robinson, And shoot ashore, like Uncle John, In quite the proper style, If I was wrecked, like Robinson, Upon a desert isle. I’d feast on grated coconut, And yams and beche de mcr, I’m fond of pie and ice cream—but I’d feast on grated coconut, Within my little wooden hut, Dressed in my coat of fur, I’d feast on grated coconut, And yams and beche de mer. If cannibals should come in sight Upon that sandy shore. In manner civil and polite, If cannibals should come in sight, I’d wish them all a brief “good-night,” And tactfully withdraw, If cannibals should come in sight Upon that sandy shore. If I should build a beacon high, Like Crusoe, on a hill, To light the vessels sailing by, If I should build a beacon high, They’d come and save me (which is . > why I don’t believe I ioill!) If I should build a beacon high, Like Crusoe, on a hill.
