The Cupboard

I know a little cupboard,
  With a teeny tiny key,
  And there’s a jar of Lollypops
        For me, me, me.

It has a little shelf, my dear,
  As dark as dark can be,
  And there’s a dish of Banbury Cakes
        For me, me, me.

I have a small fat grandmamma,
  With a very slippery knee,
  And she’s the Keeper of the Cupboard
        With the key, key, key.

And I’m very good, my dear,
  As good as good can be,
  There’s Branbury Cakes, and Lollypops
        For me, me, me.
