O NE, two, buckle my shoe; Three, four, shut'the door; Five, six, pick up sticks; Seven, eight, lay them straight; Nine, ten, a good fat hen ; Eleven, twelve, who will delve ? Thirteen, fourteen, draw the curtain; Fifteen, sixteen, the maid's in the kitchen; Seventeen, eighteen, she's a waiting ; Nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty; Please, mamma, give me some dinner.
S NAIL! snail! come out of your hole, Or else I'll beat you as black as a coal. Snail! snail! put in your head, Or else I'll beat you till you're dead.

drum; I bought him a little handkerchief to wipe
his little nose, And a pair of little garters, to tie his little hose.
G 0 to bed, Tom, go to bed, Tom— Merry or sober, go to bed, Tom.
