A Voyage

The Horse and the Tiger,
The Ape and the Goat,
Decided one morning,
To hire a boat.

To leave their own country,
And find a new one,
Very much in the manner,
Columbus had done.

The boat went a-sailing,
Away and away,
It sailed and they sailed,
For a night and a day.

When all of a sudden,
There blew a great gale,
The Horse was a-tremble,
The Tiger grew pale.

The Ape and the Goat,
Nearly fainted together,
But the boat went a-sailing,
In spite of bad weather.

A-sailing, a-sailing,
A-sailing it goes,
To a wonderful country,
Which nobody knows.

The Horse and the Tiger,
The Ape and the Goat,
Has found a new one,
As Columbus had done.
