Ally Wangle was a girl who lived just down the street.
She was skinny as a rake, but had a massive pair of feet,
And on her head there was a growth of strangely bouncy hair –
It looked a bit peculiar, but Ally didn’t care.

For in this crazy tangle was a hairy little house
In which there lived a Humpergee, his children and his spouse.
They had a hairy bathroom and a hairy kitchen table,
Hairy cups and saucers and a hairy pet called Mabel.

When Ally Wangle clomped to school the Humpergees would sing;
They sounded like an orchestra inside a ball of string . . .
