    (continued from previous page)
    When I was young and had no sense
    I bought a fiddle for eighteen pense
    And all the tunes that I could play
    Was "cut the loaf and eat away".

    Monday for wealth
    Tuesday for health
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for crosses
    And Saturday no day at all.

    Rain! Rain!
    Go to Spain
    And come again
    On Monday morning!
