**********************

I live in a land where people do not work

No schools and no teachers; Nobody hurries or worries

Do you like to visit? Let me tell you

It is not easy to get there

Naturally it takes a very long time

You have to climb on a mountain of pudding for three miles

Once you get, you see houses with walls built of ginger bread

The panes of windows are made of yellow and red jelly

The roofs are covered with pancakes

The yards are fenced with white and brown sugar sticks

If you feel thirsty and want something warm

You just stoop down at one of the little streams

That flow with milk and chocolate

If you prefer a cold drink, go to one of the fountain just turn on any tap

You like lemonade, kola or ginger-beer

That land knows neither winter nor frost

Neither the thunder nor hail

No wonder the trees are always laden with all kinds of sweet and juicy fruits

In the rivers there are shoal of fish, Nobody worries about rod, bait or net

The fish comes to the shore and are ready for the table

When you take them out of the water

In the same way the air supplies

There are no stones in this country

On the ground you find toffee, butter scotch and sugar candy

But people do not live long in the wonderful land

The lazy life takes all strength out of them

And soon they pine away and die for want exercise
