I am the very model of a cartoon individual
My animation's comical, unusual and whimsical
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters comical, unusual and whimsical
I am the very model of a cartoon individual!

I know our mythic history, King Arthur and Sir Caradoc;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
My muse is into music, but my credit I'll not trouble you
From R&B to S&M, cross over C&W
To groovin' with the Doobies in my Malibu white-souling tones
Man, I'm older than the Beatles, but I'm younger than the Rolling Stones
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every detail of Caractacus' uniform:
In short, in matters comical, unusual and whimsical
I am the very model of a cartoon individual!
