Cordially, cordially,

Fiddlesticks, fiddlesticks!

Just act your pleasure, sir.

Sometimes he was singing to Jemmy the farmer,

And then to Miss Alice, and trying to charm her;

Next moment he’d light on the top of a thistle,

And either be singing or trying to whistle:

Miss Alice, Miss Alice! it will give me much pleasure

To sing you a sonnet while I am at leisure.

I will sing you a good one, and very explicit,
