Wonderful One went to Copenhagen,
Fancied a pearl for his crown,
Wreathed in haloed light
On his merry flight,
Thought he'd wink and sink one down. #

In stunning grand wonderland Copenhagen,
Faulty cold mean IOC *
Said he failed to sway,
Sent him home that day
Singing "Copenhagen, wonder what blunder made
Copenhagen scorn me?"

"I nailed up the poster rack
And nailed down the prayer mat;
Threw First Lady wife into the fray.
And there she stood, stately like me,
With a welcome so charming and gay."

Wonderful One dared fool Copenhagen,
Tendered no pearl to his town.
'Neath his reading light
On returning flight,
On the brink of sinking down.

To underworld plunderworld doped Chicago,
Paltry and lean news brought he.
Alpha male no way,
Coming home to stay,
Singing "Nope, Chicago; Rio down-under stole
Copenhagen from me!"
