		ROBIN the Bobbin the big-bellied Ben, He ate more meat than fourscore men; He ate a cow, he ate a calf, He ate a butcher and a half; He ate a church, he ate a steeple, He ate the priest and all the people!
	Three wise men of Gotham Went to sea in a bowl And if the bowl had been stronger My song had been longer.
	BOBBY SHAFTOE'Sgone to sea, Silver buckles orThitTknee; He'll come back and marry me, Pretty Bobby Shaftoe- Bobby Shaftoe's fat and fair, Combing down his yellow hair, He's my love forevermore, Pretty Bobby Shaftoe.
