There was a Young Lady whose chin,
Resembled the point of a pin;
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,

There was an Old Man of the West,
Who wore a pale plum-coloured vest;
When they said, 'Does it fit

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,
There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all day long;

There was an Old Man on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,

There was an Old Man of Hong Kong,

There was an Old Man with a beard,

There was a Young Lady of Turkey,
Who wept when the weather was murky;
When the day turned out fine,
She ceased to repine,
There was an Old Man of Melrose,
Who walked on the tips of his toes;
But they said, 'It ain't pleasant,
