And birds sit on each tree,
Let lords and knights say what they will,
There’s none as merry as we.

And Willy with pretty Betty.

And birds sit on each tree,
Let lords and knights say what they will,
There’s none as merry as we.

Pudding, pie, one, foot high.

Before we came to dinner.
Me-oh-my! Me-oh-my!
