|
| Where are you going Basil with this cash cow?
|
| I'm going to town to sell it at the market
|
| Your cow in fever, selling it is very complicated
|
| For my finest goat will you trade it?
|
| No sooner said than done, says Basil
|
| No sooner done than said, Basile is an expert
|
| Where are you going Basile of your beak accompanied?
|
| I'm going to town to sell it at the market
|

|
| Instead, take Basil this plump capon
|
| No sooner said than done, says Basil
|
| No sooner done than said, Basile is an expert
|
| Where are you going Basil with that little chicken?
|

|
| The city is far away give me those flowers instead
|
| In return for your pain you'll get my heart
|
| No sooner said than done, says Basil
|
| No sooner done than said, Basile is an expert
|
| No sooner said than done, I love you, said Basil
|
| No sooner said than done, that's how we get married!
|
| All over town this wedding made so much noise
|
| Who was called Basil King of smarts
|
| The moral of this whole story is this
|
| That the one we thought we took is not always taken |
