  1. Up! up! horsie to the fair,
    What will we get there
    A twopenny orange and a penny pair
    Up! up! horsie to the fair.
    Charlie Chaplin went to France
    To teach the ladies how to dance,
    This is the way he taught them
    Ladies, ladies turn around,
    Ladies, ladies reach the ground.
    A wee, wee woman,
    And a wee, wee man,
    A wee, wee kettle
    And a wee, wee pan,
    A wee, wee house and it
    thatched with straw
    Two black mice and an old jack-daw
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
