BING, BANG, BING A little boy bought him a great big gun—Bing, Bang, Bing!He shot three humming birds on the run,And an elephant on the wing. He drove all the snakesfrom the county roads, And the beetles from the trees;He killed all the bats and the warty toads,And everything else like these. So heres to the boy withthe great big gun! Sing, my laddies, sing! Who shot three hummingbirds on the run, And an elephant on thewing.
