  Three little peas, Three little peas, Three little peas in a pod. The pod it was green, And fair to be seen, But they wanted to go abroad. And "Oh," said they, "To be far away, Out in the air so green! To flutter and fly Like the birds that go by! We would envy nor king nor queen." Three little peas, Three little peas, Three little peas in a pod. My Harry he took them, And rattled and shook them, And fired them all abroad. The first one fell Right into the well, And learned how to float and swim. The second did fly Into Roderick's eye, And sorely disgusted him. But the third little pea, Right venturesomely, Straight up in the air it flew; And it stared in surprise With both of its eyes, To find that the air was blue. |
