Rufus Rat

No - said the pig to Rufus Rat
( Refusing to enter his race )
This pool of mud
It cools my blood
Another go ask in my place

No - said the hen to Rufus Rat
( Refusing to enter his race )
I have some seed
On which to feed
Another go ask in my place

No - said the cow to Rufus Rat
( Refusing to enter his race )
The grass is sweet
It’s good to eat
Another go ask in my place

No - they all said to Rufus Rat
Another go ask in our place
The pig ( a sow )
The hen and cow
Had never before won a race
