 The third was a man—O a very queer man! But a funny old chap was he. From back in the time when the world began His like you never did see.

The third was a man—O a very queer man!

But a funny old chap was he.

From back in the time when the world began

His like you never did see.

The things he'd "know," they were seldom so,

His views they were odd and strange,

And his heart was filled with the genial glow

Of love for his kitchen range.

 Now the three set forth on a wondrous trip To visit the lands afar; And what befel on the shore, and ship, As she sailed across the bar, These tales will make as plain as the day To those who will go with me And follow along in the prank and play Of these, my travellers three.

These tales will make as plain as the day

To those who will go with me

And follow along in the prank and play

Of these, my travellers three.
