- (continued from previous page)Here comes I Tommy Funny,
I am the man,
Who wants the money,
All silver no brass,
Bad halfpence wont pass.
Next comes Belzebuib who says :-Here comes I Belzibuib,
Under my arm I carry my club,
And in my hand a watering can,
Oh? I do think I am a funny old man.
After they have all recited their rhymes it is customary for one of them to sing a song while another one dances and another plays on the fiddle
