Hush, baby, my doll, I pray you dont cry,
And I'll give you some bread, and some milk by-and¬
by ;
Or perhaps you like custard, or, maybe, a tart,
Then to either you are welcome, with all my heart.
Pitty Patty Polt, Brow, brow, brinkie,
Shoe the wild colt ; Eye, eye, winkie,
Here a nail, Mouth, mouth, merry,
And there a nail, Cheek, cheek, cherry,
Pitty Patty Polt. Chin chopper, chin chopper,
&c. |
If you are to be a gentleman, as I suppose you'll be,
You'll neither laugh nor smile for a tickling of the knee.
