If mice could roar
And elephants soar
And trees grow up in the sky;

If tigers could dine
On biscuits and wine,
And the fattest of men could fly!

If pebbles could sing
And bells never ring
And teachers were lost in the post;

If a tortoise could run
And losses be won,
And bullies be buttered on toast;
If a song brought a shower,

And a gun grew a flower,
This world would be nicer than most
