When I was just a wee little lad<br>
<br>
I saw a sight so weird<br>
That I remember to this day<br>
Humpk d'Bohunk's beard.<br>
A wonder to behold it was<br>
Made of steel wool bright:<br>
And the moment I laid eyes on it<br>
It became my heart's delight.<br>
<br>
Chorus<br>
<br>
It went "splorsh" when he ate<br>
And "drip" when he stopped,<br>
It never did stand still,<br>
And I'll never know the reason why<br>
He kept it full of swill.<br>
<br>
It grew right out from the end of his chin<br>
<br>
And fell down from his nose,<br>
And when he curled into a ball<br>
It wrapped around his toes.<br>
He used it to strain all his soup<br>
To keep out e'er a bug<br>
And when he went to sleep at night<br>
He used it for a rug.<br>
<br>
Chorus The years have gone by too quickly it seems<br>
<br>
And I have my own little beard,<br>
But no matter how I let it grow<br>
It will not turn out weird.<br>
It stops right at the end of my chin,<br>
It's nowhere near my nose<br>
And another thing that I don't like,<br>
It will not reach my toes<br>
<br>
_Chorus_<br>
