He broke an elephant's back; He stopped a Mexican railway train And kicked it off the track.
He stopped a steamboat with his head And kicked it out of sight;
He kicked a skating-rink in two At nine o'clock at night.
He left the skaters on their heads, A-gasping for their breath;
He poked one hindleg down his throat And kicked himself to death. |
