ESSEX
Gaffer Grey one summer day,
Was digging in the garden,
Beneath a stone he found a bone,
And in the bone a farden.
ESSEX
Pink and white’s the lad’s delight,
Blue and white they follow,
Green and white’s forsaken quite,
The devil take the yellow!
Julius Cæsar made a law,
Augustus Cæsar signed it,
That every one that made a sneeze
Should run away and find it.
There was a man and his name was Cob;
He had a wife and her name was Mob;
He had a dog and his name was Bob;
She had a cat and her name was Chitterbob;
“Bob,” says Cob,
“Chitterbob,” says Mob,
Cob’s dog was Bob,
Mob’s cat was Chitterbob,
Cob, Mob, Bob, and Chitterbob.
