Benjamin Jones
Benjamin Jones in confident tones
Told his wife, 'On the fourth of July
I think I'll compete
In the free-for-all meet
I bet I can win, if I try'
But his wife said, 'My word
How very absurd
You haven't been swimming for years
With others so fast
You're sure to be LAST
And I'll blush to the tips of my ears'
Well, the Fourth quickly came
And waiting acclaim
Were wonderful swimmers galore
Each poised in his place
For the start of the race
While spectators crowded the shore
The contest began
And Benjy, poor man
Was passed on the left and the right
His pace was so slow
That a crab saw his toe
And thought it would venture a bite
Ben noticed the crab
As it started to grab
And-perhaps the result
Can be guessed

The thought of this toe
In the claws of his foe
Made him swim
Like a swimmer possessed
And the crowd on the shore
Sent up a great roar
As Ben took the lead in the dash
While his wife on the dock
Received such a shock
She fell in the lake with a splash
Yes, the crowd on the shore
Sent up a great roar
As Ben took the lead in the dash
While his wife on the dock
Received such a shock
She fell in the lake with a splash
Ben, well he won the race
But his wife, she made a big splash
Ben, well he won the race
But his wife, she made a big splash
Ben, well he won the race, oh yes
But his wife, she made a big splash
Ben, well he won the race
But his wife, she made a BIG splash
Based on a poem by Aileen Fisher
