This is little Jacky Dandy He loves cake and sugar-candy, He bought some at the grocer’s shop, And pleased away went hop, hop, hop.
He hopp’d to the fair, And saw a show there.
The first was the Lion, That never would yield; Behold how he ranger, The King of the field.
He next saw the Wolf, a cruel and savage beast.
This is the Wolf, That prouls thro’ the wood, Who preys upon lambs, And drinks of their blood.
He was next shewn a Monkey, a funny fellow, but mischievous.
The monkey mischievous Like a naughty boy looks, Who plagues all his friends, And don’t mind his books.
The next was a Bear, that had been taught to dance.
This is the Bear, In Greenland was bred, And brought over here, Thro’ the streets to be led.
