PERTH
A penny for the chappin’ stick,[C]
Tuppence for the theevil,[D]
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel.
[C] Used for pounding potatoes.
[D] For stirring porridge.
Cocky-bendy’s lying sick,
Guess ye what’ll mend him?
Twenty kisses in a clout,
Lassie will ye send ’em?
Cherries a ha’penny a stick!
Come and pick! Come and pick!
Cherries! big as plums!
Who comes? Who comes?
