   Apparently there are 90 different verses of this song, but the only one I've   
   ever heard is this:   
      
   old joe clark   
   old joe clark, he had a house   
   sixteen stories high   
   every story in that house   
   was filled with chicken pie   
      
   round and round, old joe clark   
   round and round i say   
   round and round, old joe clark   
   ain't got long to stay   
      
   i went down to old joe's house   
   he invited me for supper   
   stubbed my toe on the table leg   
   and stuck my nose in butter   
      
   roll around, old joe clark   
   sail away and gone   
   roll around, old joe clark   
   with your golden slippers on   
      
   i went down to old joe's house   
   never been there before   
   he slept on a feather bed   
   i slept on the floor   
      
   round and round, old joe clark   
   round and round i say   
   round and round, old joe clark   
   ain't got long to stay   
      
   old joe clark he had a cow   
   she was muley born   
   it take a jaybird a week and a half   
   to fly from horn to horn   
      
   round and round, old joe clark   
   round and round i say   
   round and round, old joe clark   
   ain't got long to stay   
      
   fly around, old joe clark   
   fly around and gone   
   fly around, old joe clark   
   with your golden slippers on   
      
   when i was a little boy   
   i used to play with matches   
   now i am a great big boy   
   wearing dad's moustaches   
      
   round and round, old joe clark   
   round and round and gone   
   round and round, old joe clark   
   with your golden slippers on   
      
      
   round and round, old joe clark   
   round and round i say   
   round and round, old joe clark   
   ain't got long to stay
