Build it up with stone so strong,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
Huzza! 'twill last for ages long,
With a gay lady.

ONG legs, crooked thighs,
Little head and no eyes.
What's that?

M

ARY, Mary,

Quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

Silver bells,

And cockle-shells,

And pretty maids all of a row.

OOK at the rainbow, how bright and gay

It shines now the storm has

pass'd away.

EEDLES and pins, needles and pins,

When a man marries his trouble begins.

LD King Cole
Was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;
He call'd for his pipe,

And he call'd for his bowl,

And he call'd for his fiddlers three,
Every fiddler, he had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he;

Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.

Oh, there's none so rare,

As can compare,

With King Cole and his fiddlers three!

LD mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,

To give her poor dog a bone;
But when she came there
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

She went to the baker's
To buy him some bread,
And when she came back
The poor dog was dead.

She went to the joiner's
To buy him a coffin,
And when she came back
The poor dog was laughing.

She took a clean dish
To get him some tripe,
And when she came back
He was smoking his pipe.

She went to the ale-house
To get him some beer,
And when she came back
The dog sat in a chair.

She went to the tavern

For white wine and red, And when she came back The dog stood on his head.

She went to the hatter's
To buy him a hat,
And when she came back
He was feeding the cat.

She went to the barber's
To buy him a wig,
And when she came back
He was dancing a jig.

She went to the fruiterer's
To buy him some fruit,
And when she came back
He was playing the flute.
