[Milk-man, milk-man, where have you been?]

In Buttermilk channel up to my chin,

I spilt my milk, and I spoilt my clothes,

And got a long icicle hung to my nose.

[I like little pussy, her coat is so warm,]

And if I don’t hurt her she’ll do me do harm;

So I’ll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,

But pussy and I very gently will play.
