'Tis July Fourth in Jungle Land,
And down the Forest's Emerald
Strand1
The animals in gay parade
March 'neath the big trees' leafy shade.
Which
Rattle3 Snake has lent the crowd,
They make a noise that would compare
Our old friend Tommy Tiger grins,
As Mikey
Monk5 some trick begins,
Says, "Don't you dare to make a fuss!"
As Buster Bear comes into view;
I hope you have recovered quite—
Those Bumble Bees know how to bite!"
"Forget it!" Buster
growls9 with pluck,
"I haven't yet paid Doctor Duck!"
But seeing then their Lion Lord,
They all bow down with one accord.
Is sauntering down the Forest Lane,
His Ladyship close by his side.
"It must be almost midnight now,"
Cries Mikey with a lowly bow;
"Will not your Royal Highness stay
And see the rockets glittering spray?"
The Roman Candles shoot
forth14 stars,
The rockets circle Jupe and Mars,
When suddenly across the sky
A big black cloud goes drifting by.
It hides from view the silver moon,
The Jolly Junglers cease their
tune15;
A
hush16 falls over leaf and root—
Twelve times he toots his horn—
"Let's go to bed before the morn,"
King Leo cries, "This awful
din17
Has made my noodle fairly spin!"
So all the Jolly Jungle Band
Go home to sleep at his command,
And all is quiet as a mouse
Within each Jolly Jungler's house.
