Too Tall To Fall
He was hoity-toity,
above them all.
He was high-and-mighty,
too tall to fall.
She was hoity-toity,
belle of the ball.
She was coy-and-flighty,
too tall to fall.
He was hoity-toity,
a know it all.
He was wag-and- snobby,
too tall to fall.
She was hoity-toity,
beyond recall.
She was vain-and-snooty,
too tall to fall.
They were hoity-toity,
sassy with gall.
They were fizz-and-gaudy,
too tall to fall.
