| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| I’ve many a tale to tell
|
| And though I’m a cobbler,
|
| I’d say I tell them rather well
|
| I’ll mend your shoes and I’ll fix your boot
|
| when I have a moment free
|
| when I’m not otherwise occupied
|
| as a purple duck, or a mountain side,
|
| or a quarter after three
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| Andersen, that’s me!
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| I bring you a fable rare
|
| There once was a table,
|
| who said «Oh how I’d love a chair»
|
| And then and there came a sweet young chair
|
| all dressed in a bridal gown
|
| He said to her in a voice so true
|
| «Now I did not say I would marry you
|
| But I would like to sit down»
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| Andersen’s in town.
|
| I write myself a note each day,
|
| and I place it in my hat.
|
| The wind comes by, the hat blows high
|
| but that not the end of that
|
| For 'round and 'round the world it goes
|
| it lands here right behind myself,
|
| I pick it up, and I read the note,
|
| which is merely to remind myself
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| Andersen, that’s me!
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| My pen’s like a babling brook
|
| Pemit me to show you, Dear Sir,
|
| my very latest book
|
| Now here’s a tale of a simple fool,
|
| just glance at a page or two
|
| You laugh «Ha Ha"but you blush a bit
|
| For you realize while you’re reading it
|
| That it’s also reading you
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| Andersen, that’s who!
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| and this is an April day
|
| It’s full of the magic I need
|
| to speed me my way
|
| My pocket book has an empty look
|
| I limp on a lumpy shoe
|
| Or if I wish I am a flying fish,
|
| or a millionaire with a rocking chair,
|
| and a dumpling in my stew
|
| I’m Hans Christian Andersen,
|
| Andersen, that’s who! |
