一个扭曲的男人，走了一哩扭曲的路

一个扭曲的男人，走了一哩扭曲的路。
手拿扭曲的六便士，踏上扭曲的台阶，
买一只歪歪扭扭的猫儿，猫儿抓歪歪扭扭的老鼠。
他们一起住歪歪扭扭的小屋。

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
