Jonathan Jo

Jonathan Jo

Has a mouth like an "O"

And a wheelbarrow full of surprises;

If you ask for a bat,

Or for something like that,

He has got it, whatever the size is.


If you're wanting a ball,

It's no trouble at all;

Why, the more that you ask for, the merrier—

Like a hoop and a top,

And a watch that won't stop,

And some sweets, and an Aberdeen terrier.


Jonathan Jo

Has a mouth like an "O"

But this is what makes him so funny:

If you give him a smile,

Only once in a while,

Then he never expects any money!
