ARK! hark! the dogs do bark,

H Beggars are coming to town,

Some in jags, and some in rags,
And some in velvet gown.

ERE am I, jumping Joan ;
When nobody's with me
I'm always alone.

ERE comes a lusty wooer,
My a dildin, my a daldin :
Here comes a lusty wooer,
Lily bright and shine a’.

Pray who do you woo,
My a dildin, my a daldin?
Pray, who do you woo,
Lily bright and shine a'?

For your fairest daughter,
My a dildin, my a daldin;
For your fairest daughter,
Lily bright and shine a'.

Then there she is for you,
My a dildin, my a daldin;
Then there she is for you,
Lily bright and shine a'.

H

ERE we go up, up, up,

And here we go down, down, downy,

And here we go backwards and forwards,

And here we go round, round, roundy.

ERE stands a fist,

Who set it there?

A better man than you,
Touch him if you dare.

H

EY diddle diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jump'd over the moon;
The little dog laugh'd

To see such craft,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

EY my kitten, my kitten,

And hey my kitten, my deary,
Such a sweet pet as this
Was neither far nor neary.

H

ICCORY, diccory, dock,

The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hiccory, diccory, dock.
