- Purty Polly had a hen
She laid eggs for gentlemen
The gentlemen came there one day
But Purty Polly was out of the wayThe cat at the fire was frying the fish
The mouse in the cupboard was licking the dish
The dog upstairs was dressing the bed
And the pig in the pigsty combing his head
The cock in the dung was crowing for day
The hens in the meadow where making the hay.
