 * Don'd I sing dhose peautiful songs like a book?"
 * (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!)


 * A fish came a-shvimming along dot vay
 * (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!);
 * "I'll dake you oudt off der vet," he say;
 * Und der leedle froggie vas shtowed avay.
 * (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!)


 * A hawk flew down und der fish dook in
 * (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!);
 * Und der hawk he dink dot der shmardest vin
 * Vhen he shtuck his claws in dot fish's shkin.
 * (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!)
