    Ina, mena, mina, mo,
    Where do all the Frenchmen go,
    Two to the east, two to the west
    Two to the holy crow's nest.
    Penny on the water,
    Twopence on the sea
    Threepence on the railway
    Out goes she.
    O-u-t spells straight banks "out".
    One, two, sky blue,
    All out except you
    Ink, pink, perry wink,
    Out goes she.
    Jaban, a baban,
    A baby's knee,
    She wholesome, polsome
    Sacred tee,
    Praty rose,
    Single toes,
    Out goes she.
