Life
A bundle of thoughts
A bundle of thoughts
Gay go up, and gay go down
To ring the bells of London Town
Bull’s eyes and targets
Say the bells of St. Marg’ret’s
Brickbats and tiles
Say the bells of St. Giles’
Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St. Clement’s
Pancakes and fritters/(Old shoes and slippers)
Say the bells of St. Peter’s
Two sticks and an apple
Say the bells at Whitechapel
Old Father Baldpate
Say the slow bells at Aldgate
Maids in white aprons
Say the bells at St Catherine’s
Pokers and tongs
Say the bells of St. John’s
Kettles and pans
Say the bells of St. Anne’s
Halfpence and farthings
Say the bells of St. Martin’s
When will you pay me?
Say the bells at Old Bailey
When I grow rich
Say the bells at Shoreditch
Pray, when will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney
I do not know
Says the great bell at Bow
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head
