In the dark-blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep;
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

There is the key of the Kingdom.
In that Kingdom there is a city
In that city there is a town;
In that town there is a street;
In that street there is a lane;
In that lane there is a yard;
In that yard there is a house;
In that house there is a room;
In that room there is a bed;
On that bed there is a basket;
In that basket there are some
flowers.

Flowers in the basket,
Basket on the bed,

Bed in the room,
Room in the house,
House in the yard,
Yard in the lane,
Lane in the street,

Street in the town,

Town in the city,
City in the Kingdom,

And this is the key of the Kingdom.

In that Kingdom there is a city;
In that city there is a town;
In that town there is a street;
In that street there is a lane;
In that lane there is a yard;
In that yard there is a house;
In that house there is a room;
In that room there is a bed;
etc., etc.

When I was a bachelor I lived by myself, And all the bread and cheese I got, I put upon a shelf;

The rats and the mice did lead me such a life

That I went to London to get myself a wife.

The streets were so broad and the lanes were so narrow,

I could not get my wife home without a wheelbarrow;

The wheelbarrow broke, my wife got a fall;

Down tumbled wheelbarrow, little wife, and all.

[graphic]

There was a jolly miller
He lived on the river Dee;

He worked and sang from morn till night,
No lark so blithe as he.

And this the burden of his song

Forever used to be

I care for nobody-no! not I,
Since nobody cares for me.

Daffy-Down-Dilly has come up to town In a yellow petticoat and a green gown.
