These dainty morsels I'm really gloating on,

and you, my little maiden, I'm doting on!

Come, little mousey,

come into my housey!

Come with me, my precious,

I'll give you sweetmeats delicious!

Of chocolate, tarts, and marzipan

you shall both eat all you can,

and wedding-cake and strawberry ices,

blancmange, and everything else that nice is,
