- (continued from previous page)then there were but four.
Four little ... [slur] going to a spree,
One of them got drunk,
Then there were but three.
Three little ... [slur] all saying 'woo-hoo'
One of them fell dead and then there were but two.
Two little ... [slur] boys eating a bun.
One of ate too much and then there was but one.
One little ... [slur] boy thinking of some fun,
He just closed his eyes and then there was none.
No 3. Auntie Judy had a cat,
That was very fond of snails,
Every time she caught a mouse,
She caught him by the tail.
No 4. Mary, Mary quite contrary,
Sitting on a stool in the dairy,
Mixing butter for a fairy,
How does your garden grow.
