“I am a little codjer my age is scarcely ten”
Song
I am a little codjer my age is scarcely ten
I keep a pipe and Tobacco box and smoke like all the men.
They are always a dodjing and a plodjing after me.
They broke my pipe and Tobacco box and would not let me be.
One day I got the creeping stool.
I crept up to the hob.
I found a rusty dudeen and I stuck it in my gob.
My Granny broke the belly band all with the second twist.
I cried out mile murder.
I have the dudeen in my fist.
