Calico Pie,
|
The little Bird fly
|
Down to the calico tree,
|
Their wings were blue,
|
singing 'Tilly-Tilly-loo!'
|
Till away they flew, -
|
but they never came back to me!
|
|
Calico Jam,
|
The little Fish swam,
|
Over the syllabub sea,
|
He took off his hat,
|
To the Sole and the Sprat,
|
And the Willeby-Wat, -
|
But he never came back to me!
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
Oh he never came back
|
|
Calico Ban,
|
The little Mice ran,
|
To be ready in time for tea,
|
Flippity flup,
|
They drank it all up,
|
And danced in the cup, -
|
But they never came back to me!
|
|
Well, He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
Oh he never came back
|
|
Calico Drum,
|
The Grasshoppers come,
|
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
|
Over the ground,
|
Around and around,
|
With a hop and a bound, -
|
But they never came back to me!
|
|
OH He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
He never came back never came back,
|
He never came he never came back to me.
|
|
Oh he never came back
|
