Tabby the Three Legged Girl

You must be dressed cuter than most
Tabby’s mother said, in kind of a boast
For we have to get their eyes away from your leg
Tabby knew the score, most girls have two in Winnipeg

Tabby was born with three, no one ever knew how
But her mother dressed her in fashion that was a wow
Today she had on three boots – pink, orange and yellow
She got a wink from a good-looking young fellow

She knew her mother knew what to do
She had already figured out how to order a shoe
Demanding the shoe companies sell some of them in threes
Had to serve them with a lawsuit, this was no kind of breeze
