There Was A Crooked Man (Audio Sample and Lyrics)

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

There was a crooked dog, who barked a crooked bark,
That went for a walk in a little crooked park.
He chased that crooked cat, who chased that crooked mouse,
And they all stopped for tea in a little crooked house.

There was a crooked kettle, upon a crooked stove,
There was some crooked bread that came from a crooked loaf.
They ate some crooked brie and drank some crooked tea
And they all sat together on a crooked settee.


There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
