We're The Twins from Aunt Marinn's, <br />Igo and Ago. <br />When Dad comes, the show begins!-- <br />Iram, coram, dago. <br /> <br />Dad he says he named us two <br />Igo and Ago <br />For a poem he always knew, <br />Iram, coram, dago. <br /> <br />_Then_ he was a braw Scotchman-- <br />Igo and Ago.-- <br />_Now_ he's Scotch-Amer-i-can. <br />Iram, coram, dago. <br /> <br />'Hey!' he cries, and pats his knee, <br />'Igo and Ago, <br />My twin bairnies, ride wi' me-- <br />Iram, coram, dago!' <br /> <br />'Here,' he laughs, 'ye've each a leg, <br />Igo and Ago, <br />Gleg as Tam O'Shanter's 'Meg'! <br />Iram, coram, dago!' <br /> <br />Then we mount, with shrieks of mirth-- <br />Igo and Ago,-- <br />The two gladdest twins on earth! <br />Iram, coram, dago. <br /> <br />Wade and Silas-Walker cry,-- <br />'Igo and Ago-- <br />Annie's kissin' 'em 'good-bye'!'-- <br />Iram, coram, dago. <br /> <br />Aunty waves us fond farewells.-- <br />'Igo and Ago,' <br />Granny pipes, 'tak care yersels!' <br />Iram, coram, dago.<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/igo-and-ago/
