" If all the seas were one sea, 

 What a great sea that would be ; 

 If all the trees were one tree, 

 What a tall tree that would be ; 

 If all the axes were one axe, 

 What a sharp axe that would be ; 

 If all the Yankees were one Yankee, 

 What a 'cute Yankee he would be ; 

 And if the 'cute Yankee took the sharp axe, 

 And cut down the tall tree, 

 And let it fall into the great sea, 

 What an immortal splash that would be."
