Higgledy, piggledy! see how they run! Hopperty, popperty! what is the fun? Has the sun or the moon tumbled into the sea? What is the matter, now? Pray tell it me! Higgledy, piggledy! how can I tell? Hopperty, popperty! hark to the bell! The rats and the mice even scamper away; Who can say what may not happen to-day?

Which is the way to Somewhere Town? Oh, up in the morning early; Over the tiles and the chimney-pots, That is the way, quite clearly. And which is the door to Somewhere Town? Oh, up in the morning early; The round red sun is the door to go through, That is the way, quite clearly.
