The Invisible Man Dances a Jig

The invisible man danced a jig,
He forgot to take off his boots,
Along with his wig.
The wig looked like a flying dead cat!
Can you imagine what it looked like?
Can you imagine that?
The boots danced all over the town,
They danced the jig uphill,
And then they danced down.
Anyone who saw them would say,
“Hey! Just look at that!
Look at those boots dancing,
With a dead flying cat.”
The invisible man didn’t care what they said,
He was too busy dancing,
with a dead cat on his head.
