Three chipmunks green right gay were seen + 

To leap on the beast his brows between; + 

They munched at his ears and chiffered his chin, + 

And sat and sat and sat on him! + 

Not a single available spot of hide + 

Where a well-sleeked chipmunk could sit with pride, + 

But was chipped and chipped and chip-chip-munked, + 

Till aught but an elephant must have flunked. + 

“Ah chee, ah chee, ah chee, ah chee! + 

What a ride we’re having, we chipmunks three!” + 
