Verse 1
A harnet zet in a hollow tree,
A proper spiteful twoad was he,
And merrily zung while a did zet,
His stinge as sharp as a baganet,
'Oh, who's so bowld and vierce as I,
I vears not bee, nor waspe, nor vly.
Chorus
'Oh, who's so bowld and vierce as I,
I vears not bee, nor waspe, nor vly.
Verse 2
A Bittle up thuck tree did clim',
And scarnvully did luk at him,
Zays he, 'Zur Harnet, who giv' thee,
A right to zet in thuck there tree?
Although zings so nation vine,
I tell 'e it's a house of mine.
Chorus
Although zings so nation vine,
I tell 'e it's a house of mine.
Verse 3
The Harnet's conscience felt a twinge,
But growin' bowld wi' his long stinge,
Zays he, 'Possession's the best law,
Zo here th' shasn't put a claw,
Be off and leave the tree to me,
The Mixen's good enough for thee.'
Chorus
Be off and leave the tree to me,
The Mixen's good enough for thee.'
Verse 4
Just then a Yuccle passin' by,
Was axed by them their cause to try,
'Ha! Ha! It's very plain,' zays he,
'They'll make a vamous nunch for me.'
His bill was sharp, his stomach lear,
Zo up a snapped the caddlin' pair.
Chorus
His bill was sharp, his stomach lear,
Zo up a snapped the caddlin' pair.
Verse 5
All you that be to law inclined,
This leetle story bear in mind,
For if to law law you ever gwo,
You'll vind they'll allus zarve 'e zo,
You'll meet the vate o' these 'ere two,
They'll take your cwoate and carcass too!
Chorus
You'll meet the vate o' these 'ere two,
They'll take your cwoate and carcass too!
