Prologue:

There Was Once A Boy Named Pierre

Who Only Would Say, I Don't Care!

Read His Story, My Friend, For You'll Find

At The End That A Suitable

Moral Lies There



(Chapter I)



One Day His Mother Said

When Pierre Climbed Out Of Bed

-Good Morning, Darling Boy, You Are My Only Joy

Pierre Said-I Don't Care!

-What Would You Like To Eat?

-I Don't Care!

-Some Lovely Cream Of Wheat?

-I Don't Care!

-Don't Sit Backwards In Your Chair

-I Don't Care!

-Or Pour Syrup On Your Hair

-I Don't Care!

-You Are Acting Like A Clown

-I Don't Care!

-And We Have To Go To Town

-I Don't Care!

-Don't You Want To Come, My Dear?

-I Don't Care!

-Would You Rather Stay Right Here?

-I Don't Care!

So His Mother Left Him There



(Chapter II)



His Father Said-Get Off Your Head

Or I Will March You Up To Bed!

Pierre Said-I Don't Care!

-I Would Think That You Could See--

-I Don't Care!

-Your Head Is Where Your Feet Should Be!

-I Don't Care!

-If You Keep Standing Upside Down--

-I Don't Care!

-We'll Never Get To Town

-I Don't Care!

-If Only You Would Say, I Care

-I Don't Care!

-I'd Let You Fold The Folding Chair

-I Don't Care!

So His Parents Left Him There

They Didn't Take Him Anywhere



(Chapter III)



Now As The Night Began To Fall

A Hungry Lion Paid A Call

He Looked Pierre Right In The Eye

And Asked Him If He'd Like To Die

Pierre Said-I Don't Care!

-I Can Eat You, Don't You See?

-I Don't Care!

-And You Will Be Inside Of Me

-I Don't Care!

-Then You Will Never Have To Bother--

-I Don't Care!

-With A Mother And A Father

-I Don't Care!

-Is That All You Have To Say?

-I Don't Care!

-Then I'll Eat You, If I May

-I Don't Care!

So The Lion Ate Pierre
