They've Put A Brassiere On The Camel


They've put a brassiere on the camel,
She wasn't dressed proper, you know.
They've put a brassiere on the camel
So that her humps wouldn't show.
And they're making other respectable plans,
They're even insisting the pigs should wear pants,
They'll dress up the ducks if we give them a chance
Since they've put a brassiere on the camel.
They've put a brassiere on the camel,
They claim she's more decent this way.
They've put a brassiere on the camel,
The camel had nothing to say.
They squeezed her into it, I'll never know how,
They say that she looks more respectable now,
Heaven knows what they've got in mind for the cow,
Since they've put a brassiere on the camel.

You didn't write those did you? If not, what book did they come from? They are so fun!

They are from Shel Silverstein. My teacher in elementary used to read them to us. I've loved them ever since!
