Fol de roi, de rol, lad!
Little Robin chirped and sung, and what did
pussy say?
Creeping, and stretching the claws, lad?
Pussy said, O-w! P-shaw i Me-ow! for
Robin was off and away.
There's wings to be had!
And fol de rol for the claws, lad!
"When I was a bachelor, I lived by myself,
And all the bread and cheese I got I put upon a shelf.
