So away in his store-room he stored up a heap

Of corn-bags well filled, full seven yards deep;

While ranged very near them, in beautiful show,

Were a great many corn-poppers, set in a row.

And this is the corn that lay in the house that Jack built.

And a blazing red fire was ever kept glowing

By a great pair of bellows that ever kept blowing;

And there stood the children, the dear little souls!

A-shaking their corn-poppers over the coals.
