  1. School Rhyme - We Came From Spanish

    School rhyme - We came from Spanish
    All the children will join up in a line except two and those say.
    We came from Spanish
    We came from Spain
    We came to take
    Your daughter Jane.
    The others then say
    My daughter Jane
    She is too young
    To be controlled
    By any one
    Then the two answer
    Let her be young
    Or let her be old
    For her beauty
    She must come
    Then the others
    Steps to the kitchen
    Steps to the hall
