BOBBY LEE

ONE, two, three!

One was Bobby Lee

Sitting by the brook,

With his fishing-hook,

With his spelling-book

Thrust far aside,

Whilst loud he cried:

"For once, no school,

For once, no rule,

Bell, ring away!

This whole, whole day

I'll stop and play!"

One, two, three!

One was Mrs. Bee

Stopping just to stare

At the vision there—

Bobby by the brook

With his fishing-hook;

At the spelling-book

Thrust far aside;
