The Postman

Hey! the little postman,
  And his little dog.
Here he comes a-hopping
  Like a little frog;
Bringing me a letter,
  Bringing me a note,
In the little pocket
  Of his little coat.

Hey! the little postman,
  And his little bag,
Here he comes a-trotting
  Like a little nag;
Bringing me a paper,
  Bringing me a bill,
From the little grocer
  On the little hill.

Hey! the little postman,
  And his little hat,
Here he comes a-creeping
  Like a little cat.
What is that he’s saying?
  “Naught for you to-day!”
Horrid little postman!
  I wish you’d go away!
