Quondam nemo habitabat in terra
Quondam nemo habitabat in terra
Quondam nemo habitabat in terra
Et amabat nemo me.
(refrain) Pater, mater est testudo
Soror, frater est testudo
Ego, ego sum testudo
Atque hoc superbio.
Tum descendit elephantus in terra
Tum descendit elephantus in terra
Tum descendit elephantus in terra
Solum mihi insedit.
(refrain)
{I don’t know where this comes from. We used to sing it in class in the early 1960’s. The tune is ‘Mine eyes have seen the Glory…’}
