Play-Ing at Om-Ni-Bus

Says Hu-bert, “Look, how fast it pours!
I’m sure we can’t go out of doors
  While it is rain-ing thus;
So let us in the nur-se-ry stay,
To have a mer-ry game, and play
  At driv-ing om-ni-bus.

“Flo-ra and Ted-dy, you must be
The horses, and be driv-en by me.
  Mind you go stea-dy—do!
A place for Char-lie we shall find;
To guard the ’bus he’ll ride be-hind,
  And take the mon-ey too.

“Dick, with pa-pa’s old hat to wear,
Looks just the thing to be a fare
  Who wants to ride with us.
Jump up, sir! Six-pence all the way!
Gee, gee, you horses! Gee, I say!”—
  Off goes the om-ni-bus!
