Eela veela vaka vah
Ell do damara,
Eka speka stona now,
One pown dush.

- 5. Eena Meena Himera Dick
Voonanaar na Numera Nick,
Rocaha proacha double a roacha
Out goes she.6. The fingle the fangle, the goose and the gander
Come fleebo, flabo, turnbo, rabo,
Apples and oranges two for a penny,
Who'd be the fool to give so many,
The grass is green and the rose is red,
Here comes Georgie noble head. - 7. Hickeddy, Pigaldy, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen,
Sometimes nine and sometimes ten
Hickeddy, Pigaldy, my black hen.
Hickeddy, Pigaldy, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen,
In the corner of the loft,
In the nest so warm and soft.
