- (continued from previous page)Up a pole. Down a pole.
If a monkey chews tobacco.
If he does. Does it matter ?
Put down yes. Y.- E.- S. stands for yes.
And out of this game you must go.
Before the king and queen says so.
Mother Mother I am dying.
Send for the doctor quick, quick, quick.
Doctor, doctor am I dying.
Yes my darling dont be crying.
How many hours shall I live.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Chewy - gum, made of wax.
Brought me to my grave at last.
When I will die my mother will cry.
Chewy-gum Chewy-gum made of wax.
Little Nelly in her tent.
She can't afford to pay the rent.
The rentman came and put her out.
O-U-T stands for out. Put her out,
put her out.
It is not because she is dirty
It is not because she is clean.
It is because she has the whooping cough.
Go away you dirty thing
