Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl,
And if the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.

Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John
Went to bed with his trousers on;
One shoe off, the other shoe on,
Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John.

My dame has lost her shoe;
My master's lost his fiddle-stick,
And knows not what to do.

Polly, put the kettle on,
Polly, put the kettle on,
Polly, put the kettle on,
And let's drink tea.

Sukey, take it off again,
Sukey, take it off again,
They've all gone away.
