    What is it that a motor car cannot Go without and that is no good to it
    The noise
    As round is an apple
    As plump as a ball
    It climbs ove Chapel steeple and all
    The moon
    As round is an apple
    As deep as a cup
    All the kings horses could not pull it up.
    A spring well
    Black and white and read all over
    A newspaper
    Goes up the road and down the Road and its head under it.
    A nail of your shoe
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
