A little boy ran to the end of the sky
With a rag and a

pole and a gooseberry pie.
He cried: "Three cheers for the

Fourth of July!??
With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry

pie.

He saw three little donkeys at play,
He tickled

their noses to make them bray,
And he didn't come back

until Christmas Day—
With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry

pie.
