The Lady with the Alligator Purse

I've been thinking of this one for a long time.
I'm posting it now cause I'm in a man funk.

There are 2 endings. I'll post both.

Nonsense Rhyme
The Lady witht he Alligator Purse

Miss Lucy had a baby
His name was Tiny Tim
She put him in the bath tub
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water.
He ate up all the soap
He tried to eat the bathtub
but it wouldn't go down his throat

Miss Lucy called the doctor
Miss Lucy called the nurse
Miss Lucy called the Lady with the alligator purse

Mumps, said the doctor
Measles, said the nurse
Hiccups, said the lady with the alligator purse

Out went the doctor
Out went the nurse
Out went the lady with the alligator purse.
.....

Nonsense, said the lady with the alligator purse

Penicillin said the doctor
Castor Oil said the nurse
PIZZA said the lady with the alligator purse.

Out went the doctor
Out went the nurse
Out went the lady with the alligator purse.
...
You have to say it with a syncopated rhythm, or it makes even less sense.
I love nonsense rhymes.
