Early Version of Oranges and Lemons | ||
Gay go up, and gay go down, To ring the bells of London town. Bull's eyes and targets, Say the bells of St. Margret's. Brickbats and tiles, Say the bells of St. Giles'. Halfpence and farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's.
Oranges and lemons, |
Pancakes and fritters, Say the bells of St. Peter's. Two sticks and an apple, Say the bells at Whitechapel. Pokers and tongs, Say the bells at St. John's. Kettles and pans, Say the bells at St. Ann's.
Old Father Baldpate, |
You owe me ten shillings, Say the bells of St. Helen's. When will you pay me? Say the bells at Old Bailey. When I grow rich, Say the bells at Shoreditch. Pray when will that be? Say the bells of Stepney. I'm sure I don't know, Says the great bell at Bow.
