Three young rats with black felt hats
Language: English
Three young rats with black felt hats, Three young ducks with white straw flats Three young dogs with curling tails, Three young cats with demi veils, Went out to walk with two young pigs In satin vests and sorrel wigs, But suddenly it chanced to rain And so they all went home again.
