LIT-tle john-ny BAYE-si-an once THOUGHT he was real BRIGHT

BUT the o-ther KIDS would al-ways MOCK him day and NIGHT

HE could count and SING and read and SPELL and guess the WEA-ther

TILL one day big BILL told him bright BOYS could grow a FEA-ther

“ACH” he cried, his SPI-rits down, “could THIS be real-ly TRUE?"

“THAT would mean I MUST be dumb, and THAT would make me BLUE!”

HOME, he went, and RUBBED his scalp till IT had hurt all O-ver

THEN, at last, he FELT a growth, 'twas JUST like a small CLO-ver

"WOW" he cried with GLEE and said "it's TRUE, I've got them SPROU-ting"

This is about as far as I could get before I ran out of time. The next line is "His intelligence now certain, he grew calm and stopped his pouting" but I can't seem to get the accent to land on the first syllable. I'm stuck with "in-TEL-li-gence" and "wis-DOM now cer-tain" sounds more natural to me than "WIS-dom now cert-ain". So someone else will have to take over from here.
