One, Two-buckle my shoe; Nine, Ten-a good fat hen; Eleven, Twelve-I hope you're well. Thirteen, Fourteen-draw the curtain ; Fifteen, Sixteen-the maid's in the kitchen; Snail, Snail, Come out of your hole, Or else I'll beat you black as a coa. Snail, Snail, Put out your head, Or else I'll beat you till you're dead B The man in the moon came down too soon To inquire the way to Norridge; The man in the south, he burnt his mouth With eating cold plum-porridge. When I was a little boy, I lived by myself, And all the bread and cheese I got I put upon a shelf; The rats and the mice, they made such a strife, I was forced to go to London to buy me a wife. The streets were so broad, and the lanes were so narrow, I was forced to bring my wife home in a wheelbarrow; The wheelbarrow broke, and my wife had a fall, And down came the wheelbarrow, wife and all. Charley Wag, Ate the pudding and left the bag. Sing, Sing! What shall I sing? The Cat's run away with the Pudding-Bag String. When I was a little boy, I washed my mammy's dishes, Now I am a great boy I roll in golden riches. When I was a little boy, I lived by myself, And all the bread and cheese I got I put upon a shelf; The rats and the mice, they made such a strife, I was forced to go to London to buy me a wife. The streets were so broad, and the lanes were so narrow, I was forced to bring my wife home in a wheelbarrow; The wheelbarrow broke, and my wife had a fall, And down came the wheelbarrow, wife and all.
