Elsie Marley has grown so fine,
She won’t get up to serve the swine;
But lies in bed till eight or nine,
And surely she does take her time.
Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town,
In a yellow petticoat and a green gown.
Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;
And so between them both,
They licked the platter clean.
