The green‑eyed monster
Language: English
James gave Elizabeth a Dodo, He only offered one to me - A lovely lemon-coloured Dodo, With the greenest eyes that you could wish to see. Now it isn't that I'm doubting if James loves me, I know that he would ask me out to tea, But he did give Elizabeth a Dodo While he only offered one to me.
