WHAT'S the news of the day,
Good neighbour, I pray?

"They say the balloon

IRLS and boys, come out to play;

The moon doth shine as bright as day; Leave your supper, and leave your sleep, And come with your playfellows into the street. Come with a whoop, come with a call, Come with a good will or not at all. Up the ladder and down the wall, A halfpenny roll will serve us all. You find milk, and I'll find flour,

Sword and buckle behind their back; Foot for foot, and knee for knee,

Turn about Darby's company.

F all the seas were one sea, What a great sea that would be! And if all the trees were one tree, What a great tree that would be! And if all the axes were one axe, What a great axe that would be! And if all the men were one man, What a great man he would be! And if the great man took the great axe, And cut down the great tree,

And let it fall into the great sea,

What a splish splash that would be!
