This was no time for play.
This was no time for fun.
This was no time for games.
There was work to be done.

All that deep,
Deep, deep snow,
All that snow had to go.
When our mother went
Down to the town for the day,

Clean all this away.
Somebody, SOMEBODY
Has to, आप see."

And then who should come up
But the CAT IN THE HAT!
"Oh-oh!" Sally said.
