（单词翻译:单击）

　　There was a young man from Quebec,
　　who wrapped both his legs round his neck,
　　But then he forgot
　　How to undo¹ the knot,
　　And now he is an absolute wreak²!

　　Peter, peter, pumpkin³-eater,
　　had a wife and failed to keep her
　　put her into a pumpkin shell
　　There he kept her very well!

　　The fair breeze blew,
　　the white foam⁴ flew;
　　the furrow⁵ followed free,
　　we were the first to burst—
　　into the silent sea.

　　She stood at the bridge at the midnight,
　　her lips were all aquiver;
　　she gave a cough, her leg fell off,
　　and floated down the river!
