Hairy Maclary From Donaldson’s Dairy by Lynley Dodd
Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy
and Hercules Morse as big as a horse
with Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.
Bottomley Potts covered in spots,
Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.
Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay,
Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.
Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony,
Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse, and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.
Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum,
Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.
With tails in the air, they trotted on down past the shops and the park to the far end of town.
They sniffed at the smells and they snooped at each door, when suddenly, out of the shadows, they saw…
Scarface Claw the toughest Tom in town.
“Eeeeeowwwfftz!” said Scarface Claw.
Off with a yowl and a wail, and a howl, and a scatter of paws and a clatter of claws, went Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse,
and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy,
straight back home to bed.
