    (continued from previous page)
    I'll sing a song,
    The day is long,
    The cuckoo and the sparrow,
    The little dog that burned his tail,
    And we'll have meat to-morrow.
    I have a little dog, and his name is Buff,
    I sent him down the street for a half-penny worth of snuff,
    He broke my box and spilt my snuff,
    And was not my story bad enough.
