There Was a Man in Our Town
There was a man in our town,
And all he did each day
Was to skip and hop along the streets
And on a trumpet play.
A MOST WONDERFUL SIGHT
The most wonderful sight I ever did see
Was an owl on the branch of our old oak-tree;
His eyes were so large and his head was so small
That he seemed all eyes and no head at all.
Afloat, afloat, in a golden boat!
Hoist the sail to the breeze!
Steer by a star to lands afar
That sleep in the southern seas,
And then come home to our teas!
The rain is falling,
The fire is out!
Jane has the toothache,
John has the gout!
The king and queen went out to-day,
A-riding on a load of hay.
The king fell off and lost his crown,
The queen fell, too, and tore her gown.
