Tuppence-ha’penny!”
“Ah! tuppence-ha’penny!”
Well, little Queen Cole, as time did roll,
Fulfilled her destiny;
That is to say, in a genteel kind of way,
She had a large family.
So that Old King Cole felt anxious in his soul,
And with a deep sigh said he,
“Drat the people, if I ax ’em, why they won’t let me tax ’em,
For to fill my treasury.”
