Whawhawhawha what is it
Whawhawhawha what is it
What lurks in the bush of thorns with leaves of green?

I thought it was either a fox or a hare
Neither a fox nor a hare,
The old lady and the heir
Sprang out of the bush of thorns with leaves of green

I thought it was either a fox or a roe
Neither a fox nor a roe,
The old lady and a beau
Sprang out of the bush of thorns with leaves of green
