Sally, Sally Water--sprinkle in the pan: Fie, Sally--cry, Sally--for a young man-- and that’s really interesting, because the children don’t understand the meaning of this song any more, and so they have invented a new one to take its place, like this: Little Sally Sanders, sitting on the sand, Weeping and crying for a young man, Rise Sally, rise so sweet-- I forget the rest; but you can see how they have twisted it about to make sense-- and You naughty flea, You bit my knee-- and Come in my garden, And give me your hand-- and Slow skip, what you like, A dolly or a pepper-- and (a very naughty one) Mabel, Mabel, Lay the table-- and Mother made a seedy cake, Gave us all the belly ache-- and I know a doctor, he knows me, What do you think he brought for tea-- and Red, white and blue: I don’t speak to you-- and O dear me, mother caught a flea, Put it in the tea-pot and made a cup of tea-- and This house to let, no rent to pay, Knock at the door and run away-- and Dolly dear, Dolly dear, Your sweetheart is dead-- and Evie, Ivy, over, The kettle is boiling over-- and Up in the North, a long way off, The donkey’s got the whooping-cough-- and Turn your back, you saucy cat, And say no more to me-- and Send a letter, send a letter, Be content in the weather-- and Crossing the waters one by one, Crossing the waters two by two-- and Four little chickens all in white, Saw some bread and began a fight-- and (skipping and shuttlecock) Old mother Mason--broke a basin: What did it cost her? One penny, tuppence, etc. and Stockings red and garters blue, Shoes laced up with silver-- and Penny on the water, tuppence on the sea, Threepence on the railway--out goes she-- and Down by the river where the green grass grows, There little Sally was washing her clothes-- and Here comes a little bird through the window, Here comes a little bird through the door-- and Willie, Willie, I am waiting, I can’t wait no longer for you, Three times the whistle blows, are you coming yes or no?-- and (skipping) Little Mary Anne who lives up stairs, With high legged boots and a feather in her hat-- That’s the way she meets her chap-- and Take a little bird and hop in the corner, Take a little bird and hop away-- and Ma she said that this won’t do, To play with the boys at half-past two-- and On the carpet she shall kneel, Stand up-right upon your heel-- and Ching Chang Chinaman had a penny doll-- Washed it, scrubbed it, called it pretty poll.
