- Praties and babbage above on the shelf,
If you don't eat them I'll eat them myself.Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean,
So between them both,
They skinned the goat,
and licked the dishes clean.If a fellow met a fellow in a field of beans,
Could a fellow ask a fellow what a fellow means.One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
All good children go to heaven.
A penny on the water,
Two pence on the sea,
Three pence on the railway,
And out goes she.Go to bed sleepy head,
Time enough said slow,
Put down the pot you greedy gut,
And we'll eat before you go.
