Of these two birds one back again flew, Fa, la, la, la, lal, de; The other came after, and then there were two, Fa, la, la, la, lal, de; Said one to the other, Pray how do you do? Fa, la, la, la, lal, de; 53 HERE was an old woman who rode on a broom, THERE With a high gee ho, gee humble; And she took her old cat behind for a groom, With a bimble, bamble, bumble. They travell'd along till they came to the sky, But the journey so long made them very hungry, Says Tom, I can find nothing here to eat With a high gee ho, gee humble; So let us go back again, I entreat, The old woman would not go back so soon, With a high gee ho, gee humble; For she wanted to visit the Man in the Moon, With a bimble, bamble, bumble. Says Tom, I'll go back by myself to our house, For there I can catch a good rat or a mouse, But, says the old woman, how will you go? No, no, says Tom, I've a plan of my own, So he slid down the rainbow, and left her alone, So now, if you happen to visit the sky, With a high gee ho, gee humble; And want to come back, you Tom's method may try, With a bimble, bamble, bumble. |
