calico pie
Calico pie The little birds fly Down to the calico tree Their wings were blue And they sang 'tilly-loo! ' Till away they flew And they never came back to me! They never came back! They never came back! 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! He never came back! He never came back to me! 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! They never came back! They never came back! They never came back to me! 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! They never came back! They never came back! They never came back to me!
