Okie Pokie

Okee-Pokee-Crack-me-Crown,
King of the Island of Gulp-em-Down
Was thought the finest young fellow in town
When he dressed in his best for the party.

Okaa-Pokaa-Ching-Ma-Ring
Eighteenth wife of the mighty king
Loved her lord above everything
And dressed him up for the party.

Satins and silks the Queen did lack,
But she'd some red paint that looked well on black,
So she painted her lord and master's back
Before he went out to the party.

Crowns and stars, and ships with sails,
And flying dragons with curly tails--
"That's a dress," said the Queen, "that never fails
To charm all folks at a party."

So, painted up till he looked his best,
With pipe in mouth and feather in crest,
Okee-Pokee marched out without a coat or vest,
But yet in full dress, to the party.
