    When I was a bachelor
    I lived by my-self
    And all the meat I got I put upon the shelf.
    The rats and the mice did lead me such a life.
    That I went to London to get my self a wife.
    The streets were so broad, and the lanes were so narrow.
    That I could not get my wife home without a wheelbarrow.
    The wheelbarrow turned over my wife got a fall.
    Down tumbled wheelbarrow my little wife and all.

    I like coffee.
    I like tea.
    I like sitting.
    On an old man's knee.
    Lady, Lady, show your shoe
    Lady, Lady, I love you.
