There was a young lady in Champaign
Who drove her white car in the rain
But she forgot to put on the wipers
When she went to get Ruthie's diapers
That silly young lady in Champaign!

There was a young teacher from Urbana
Who loved to eat green banana
She made a banana cake
And ate it with rice and steak
That very full teacher from Urbana!

There was a young man with three eyes
Who seldom turned his head to other guys
When he saw a pretty lady
His head couldn't be steady
That poor young man with three eyes!

There was a young lady from Korea
Who wanted a pretty name like Maria
She had an awful name
That sounded like a shame
The uncomfortable young lady of Korea.

There was a young lady from Seoul
Who never liked a mole
She walked around with her dog
And stood still by her hog
Which protected that young lady from Seoul.

There was a young lady from Illinois
Who looked like a strange boy
She put on a cap
And looked like a sap
That strange young lady of Illinois!

There was an old man of Champaign
Who always felt like grain
When it was harvest time
He preferred to be a lime
That unhappy old man of Champaign.

There was an old man with a head
Who said that if he had a bed
It should be so big
Which was fine for a pig
That poor old man with a head.
