Remember it? It starts with
Dorothy asking him, “If you were
king, you wouldn’t be afraid of
anything?”
And he replies, “Not nobody.
Not no how!”
And his friends ask, “ Not even a
rhinoceros?”
“Imposserus!”
“How about a hippopotamus?”
“Why, I’d trash him from top to
bottomus!”
“Suppose you met an
elephant?”
“I’d wrap him up in cell-o-phant!”
What if it were a Brontasaurus?”
“I’d show him who was king of
the forest?
“How?”
“How? Courage! What makes a
king out of a slave? Courage.
“What makes a flag on the mast
to wave? Courage!
“What makes the Elephant
charge his tusk in the misty mist or
the dusty dusk? What makes the
muskrat guard his musk? Courage!
“What makes the sphinx the
seventh wonder? Courage!
“What makes the dawn come up
like thunder? Courage!
“What makes the hottentot so
hot?
What puts the ape in apricot? What
have they got that I ain’t got?
Courage!
