Count, count, count!

Till I’ve counted my master’s stock;

Ewes, and wethers, and lambs,

Lambs, and wethers, and ewes,

Till the eyes are dazzled, the hurdles smashed,

And my shins are all in a bruise.

Snip! Snip! Snip!

When the shearing season’s come,

And snip, snip, snip!

But never a keg of rum!
