Mister Skinny Legs

He stood on the washing line Did mister skinny legs, Expert he, at balancing There amongst the pegs. A gentle breeze was blowing It set the line a-swinging, He obviously enjoyed it Skinny legs, he started singing. He warbled such a sweet refrain As he swung to and fro, Skinny legs, he sang and sang How I enjoyed it so.
