    The Robbers
    Two children join hands and the others march underneath singing -
    "There's the Robbers coming through, coming through, coming through.
    Theres the Robbers coming through My Fair Lady.
    What did the Robbers do to you, do to you, do to you My Fair Lady!
    What did the Robbers do to you My Fair Lady!
    Stole my watch and stole my chain in Bow Lane, in Bow Lane, in Bow Lane
    Stole my watch and stole my chain My Fair lady.
    Chip chop, chip chop, chip the last man's head off.
