Who hopped up and down
In the principal street
Of a neighboring town.

All through the town!

Which flew out of sight,
Above houses so high,
Quite into the sky.

Which burned all the night,
And lighted the gloom
Of a very dark room.

Which stood on a hill,
And turned round and round
With a loud hummy sound.

Useful old mill!

Which was thrown in the sea
To catch fish for dinner
For you and for me.

Nice little net!

So yellow and round:
When it fell off the tree,
It fell down to the ground.

Down to the ground!
P was a pig,
Who was not very big;
But his tail was too curly,
And that made him surly.

Cross little pig!
Q was a quail
With a very short tail;
And he fed upon corn
In the evening and morn.

Quaint little quail!
R was a rabbit,
Who had a bad habit
Of eating the flowers
In gardens and bowers.

Naughty fat rabbit!

Nippity-nee,
To take up the sugar
To put in our tea.

Nippity-nee!
