Dear albie69,
Though I could not locate a printed version of this tongue twister
anywhere, I am nevertheless able to provide you its full text as
performed by Jerry Lee Lewis on many occasions:
One hen
Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four limerick oysters
Five corpulent porpoises
Six pair of Don Alversos tweezers
Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt
Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates with a
marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth
Ten lyrical, spherical diabolical denizens of the deep who hall stall
around the corner of the quo of the quay of the quivery, all at the
same time
