Oh! Good morning, Miss Bread-and-Butter, What have you today for sale? I should like to buy some nice chestnuts, If I see they are not stale. They will cost one, They will cost two, They will cost three, They will cost four And they will cost five pence the dozen, Folderol, folderoodle deray! Oh! good morning, Miss Bread-and-Butter, What have you for sale today? I should like to buy some wee pigeons, If they will not fly away. They will cost one, etc. Oh! good morning, Miss Bread-and-Butter, Are you selling little boys? I should like to buy a nice fat one, Who can make a jolly noise! He will cost one, etc. Well! good morning, Miss Bread-and-Butter, All your wares are much too dear, They had better stay in your kitchen And be little cooks, I fear. You may keep one, You may keep two, You may keep three, You may keep four, And you may keep all the whole dozen, Folderol, folderoodle deray!
From the Grovlez score.
