 Betty Bodder bought some butter.
'But', she said, 'this butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
So she bought a bit of butter
Better than her bitter butter.
And she put it in her batter
And her batter wasn't bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Bodder bought a bit of better butter!!!

A pocket full of posies.

And a merry soul was he.

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Went to bed with his trousers on,
One shoe off and one shoe on,

Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear.

And all for the sake
And my little nut tree.
