[Bobby Shaftoe’s gone to sea,]

Silver buckles on his knee;

He’ll come back and marry me,

Pretty Bobby Shaftoe.

Bobby Shaftoe’s fat and fair,

Combing down his yellow hair,

He’s my love forevermore,

Pretty Bobby Shaftoe.

[Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?] I’ve been to London to see the Queen. Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there? I frightened a little mouse under the chair.
