    Onery, Twory, Dickory Dairy,
    Hack-a-bone, Hack-a-bone, Henry Neary,
    Nick an axe, Merry-go-rounds
    Humply, Jumbly, Twenty-nine,
    Tig - Tag - Toe,
    All in a row,
    Tig for Bonny
    So sweet and Conny,
    And Danny and I in row.
    P-i-g, you have the real old Irish tig.
    Ickle, Ackle, black bottle,
    Ickle, Ackle, out.
    Two and two a two-penny loaf,
    Two and two is out.

    Bake a pudding, bake a pie,
    Did you ever tell a lie?
