HERE was a little boy and a little girl TH Lived in an alley; Says the little boy to the little girl, "Shall I, oh! shall I?" Says the little girl to the little boy, Says the little boy to the little girl, WHE HEN I was a bachelor I lived by myself, And all the meat I got I put upon a shelf; The rats and the mice did lead me such a life That I went to London to get myself a wife. The streets were so broad and the lanes were so narrow, I could not get my wife home without a wheel barrow; The wheelbarrow broke, my wife got a fall, Down tumbled wheelbarrow, little wife, and all. S Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks Were walking out one Sunday, Says Tommy Snooks to Bessy Brooks, "To-morrow will be Monday."
