The Lobster-Quadrille

"Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail,"There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail.

See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!

They are waiting on the shingle — will you come and join the dance?

Would not, could not, would not, could not, could not join the dance. "What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied."There is another shore, you know, upon the other side.

Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?

Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
