A bundle of thoughts

Oranges and Lemons

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
