Lewis Carroll – How Doth the Little Crocodile

Embed Show song activity
How does this work?
Caution: You are now annotating this song as
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!
