Cobbler! Mend my shoe
Language: English
Cobbler! Cobbler! Mend my shoe. Give it a stitch and that will do. Here's a nail, and there's a prod, And now my shoe is well shod. Cobbler! Cobbler! Mend my shoe. Get it done by half past two. Stitch it up and stitch it down. And then I'll give you half a crown. Please mend my shoe. Be done by two. A stitch and that will do. Look, here's a nail, And there's a prod, And now my shoe's well shod. Cobbler! Cobbler! Mend my shoe. Give it a stitch and that will do. Here's a nail, and there's a prod, And now my shoe is well shod. Cobbler, now my shoe's well shod.
