Pinocchio

There was a man
Who went to a wood
To find some logs
Where the tall trees stood

He came upon
A talking log
Then took him home
To make a table leg

To his surprise
The wood could talk
It made a noise
From silent bark

And soon in time
Dancing, on strings
When carved so fine
Was a boy, who sings

Pinocchio
Had a Long nose
For telling long lies
Bless his wooden toes

Pinocchio
Had a long nose
And wherever he goes
A cricket follows

There was a boy
Who was made of wood
Not quite a toy
With no flesh nor blood

He found a home
Was given a name
Yet, tended to roam
Oh, what a shame

And roam, he did
Into distant places
Into trouble, slid
With donkey faces

As he met friends
With donkey ears
Who turned into fiends
When drinking beers

Oh, Pinocchio
Had a Long nose
For telling long lies
Bless his wooden toes

Pinocchio
Had a long nose
And wherever he goes
A cricket follows

And not only that
But a boy who fibs
A little brat
With wooden ribs

Who met a crow
On a sunny day
That deceived him so
Made him lose his way

One day, he sailed
Into a shark
He wailed and wailed
Fumbling in the dark

And there he met
A nice old man
Who was also wet
If not, more than

Pinocchio
Had a Long nose
For telling long lies
Bless his wooden toes

Pinocchio
Had a long nose
And wherever he goes
A cricket follows

Then the nice old man
Took him home
Where he lived
Until he had grown

Into a boy
Which, was his wish
No longer a toy
Stuck in a fish
