I have always seen it as:

First Variation, by Augustus deMorgan:

Great fleas have little fleas
upon their backs to bite 'em
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so ad infinitum,
And the great fleas themselves,
in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
While these again have greater still,
and greater still, and so on.

The original is by Johnathan Swift and is not as lyric in modern English.

Big sharks have little sharks
Within their guts to feed 'em

...any takers?

I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a
big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person.
Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby
shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because
it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something,
like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that.
