Gentlemen walk, gentlemen walk;

This is the way the gentlemen walk

On a cold and frosty morning!

A SONG OF THE SHOEMAKER

Stretch the leather over the last,

Fit it and sew it and hold it fast.

Wax the thread, pull it through and through;

Stitch it and stitch it and sing a song, too.

Rap-a-tap, tap! Tick-a-tack, too!
