    I think so… There may be longer versions, but I’m not aware of them.

      I did find it!!!

      Ladies and gentlemen skinny and stout
      I’ll tell you a tale I know nothing about
      the admission is free so pay at the door
      now pull up a chair and sit on the floor
      One bright day in the middle of the night
      two dead boys got up to fight
      back to back they faced each other
      drew their swords and shot each other
      a blind man came to watch fair play
      a mute man came to shout HOORAY
      a deaf policeman heard the noise
      and came to stop those two dead boys
      he lived on the corner in the middle of the block
      in a two story house on a vacant lot
      a man with no legs came walking by
      and kicked the lawman in his thigh
      he flew through a wall without making a sound
      in a dry creekbed he suddenly drowned
      a long black hearse came to cart him away
      but he ran for his life and is till gone today
      I watched from the corner of the big round table
      the only eye-witness to facts of my fable
      but if you doubt my lies are true
      just ask the blind man, he saw too.

      What do you think?
