    Early to bed, early to rise,
    Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    The wren, the wren, the king of all birds,
    Since Saint Stephen's Day, she was caught in the furze,
    Although she was small, her family was great.
    Rise up young woman, and give us a treat.
    One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
    All good children go to heaven,
    A penny on the water, two pence on the sea,
    Three-halfpence on the railway, and out go she.
