There was an Old Person of Ischia,
Whose conduct grew friskier and friskier;
He dance hornpipes and jigs,
And ate thousands of figs,
There was an Old Man of Nepaul,
From his horse had a terrible fall;
But, though split quite in two,
By some very strong glue,
There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
There was a Young Lady whose chin,
Resembled the point of a pin;

And purchased a harp,
There was an Old Man of Madras,
Who rode on a cream-coloured ass;
But the length of its ears,
So promoted his fears,
There was an Old Man of the Isles,
Whose face was pervaded with smiles;
He sung high dum diddle,
And played on the fiddle,
There was a young lady whose eyes,were unique as to colour and size;
When she opened them wide,people all turned aside,and started away in surprise

There was an Old Derry down Derry,
Who loved to see little folks merry;
So he made them a Book,
And with laughter they shook,
