Whats the news of the day,Good neighbour, I pray ?They say the balloonHas gone up to the moon. There was an old man in a velvet coat,He kissd a maid and gave her a groat;The groat was crackd and would not go.Ah, old man, do you serve me so ? 70 … Three wise men of Gotham Went to sea in a bowl,And if the bowl had been strongerMy song had been longer. Wash me and comb meAnd lay me down softly,And set me on a bank to dry,That I may look pretty,When some one comes by.
