You should jazz it up a little. But How? Look!
"It _is_ a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:----"Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, `Let us both go to law: _I_ will prose- cute _you_.-- Come, I'll take no de- nial: We must have the trial; For really this morn- ing I've nothing to do.' Said the mouse to the cur, `Such a trial, dear sir. With no jury or judge, would be wast- ing our breath.' `I'll be judge, I'll be jury,' said cun- ning old Fury: `I'll try the whole cause, and con- demn you to death'."

Raffi – Down By The Bay
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a moose kissing a goose?"
Down by the bay.
Down By The Bay Verses
Did you ever see a moose kissing a goose?
Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail?
Did you ever see a fly wearing a tie?
Did you ever see a bear combing his hair?
Did you ever see llamas eating their pyjamas?
Did you ever have a time when you couldn't make a rhyme?
