First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY OF NIGER
Last Line: YOU CAN NEVER TELL TILL YOU TRY

There was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a Tiger;
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the Tiger.
There was a young maid who said, "Why
Can't I look in my ear with my eye?
If I give my mind to it,
I'm sure I can do it --
You never can tell till you try."
