I was walking up the street,

The steeple bells were ringing

Five little sisters walking in a row:

Now, isn't that the best way for little girls to go?

In go-cart so tiny

My sister I drew

Some geese went out a-walking,

To breakfast and to dine

You are going out to tea to-day,

So mind how you behave

Poor Dicky's dead!—The bell we toll,

And lay him in the deep, dark hole

Up you go, shuttlecocks, ever so high!

Why come you down again, shuttlecocks—why?

Tommy was a silly boy,

"I can fly," he said

Higgledy, piggledy, see how they run!

Hopperty, popperty! what is the fun?

Which is the way to Somewhere Town?

Oh, up in the morning early

The boat sails away, like a bird on the wing,

And the little boys dance on the sands in a ring

Pipe thee high, and pipe thee low,

Let the little feet go faster

Polly's, Peg's, and Poppety's

Mamma was kind and good
