Oi!
Ekh! Hey!
Ay-ay-ay!
Ah!
Be-be-be-be-be!
Shoo! Shoo!
Ah-ah-hatchie! Oh!
Side by side lived Oh and Ah,
a few steps apart they were.
Ah loved jokes and often laughed;
Oh made grumbling a true art.
O-oh!
Oh!
Ah-ah-hatchie!
O-oh!
Ah his duties would not shirk,
Ah wouldn't moan when given work.
He would just smile and say "Ah!"
and soon have a job well done.
Oh would look askance at Ah,
gaze with fear upon his tasks,
and that probably was why
good luck seemed to pass him by.
Ah-ah-hatchie!
O-oh!
"Oh-ho-hoh!" sighed Oh, displeased,
"These... are nettles, and not peas!"
This was off and that was wrong;
Oh could moan the whole day long.
O-o-oh!
Hey, ah!
Oh!
- R-r-ruff! - Ah!
Thunder struck, then, and rained gushed -
With an empty pail Ah rushed.
With a smile Ah gasped: "What a noise that was!"
Oh whined on: "Oh, oh!
All that thunder's made me deaf!"
Ah then winked with a sly look:
"Hey, cloud, climb into my pail!"
Oho-ho-ho-oho-hoh!
Oh!
Oh, oh!
All the neighbors came out, near the cherry-tree stood.
"Oi!" said Oi, in great dismay,
"Is Oh really sick today?"
"Hey, let moaners moan, I say!" said to him his neighbor Hey.
"Ekh!" yelled Ekh in a glad huff,
"Always moaning - what a laugh!"
Then grandpa Ayayay chimed in with a big sigh:
"Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay! Moaners live a poor life!"
O-oh!
Oi!
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay!
O-ooh!
Be-be-be-be-be!
Ooh!
Ah-ah-hatchie!
Oh!
Ah!
