Hustle, bus-tle, And only an hour for lunch

So they'll be bright and gay, I must rehearse the songbirds, To see that they sing in key

Hustle, bustle, And never a moment free

I have to meet a turtle, I'm teachin' him how to swim, Then I have to shine the dewdrops

they're looking rather dim, I told my friend, the robin, I'd buy him a brand new vest
