      On a little piece of wood,

      Mr. Spikky Sparrow stood;

      Mrs. Sparrow sate close by,

      A-making of an insect pie,

      For her little children five,

      In the nest and all alive,

      Singing with a cheerful smile

      To amuse them all the while,

      Twikky wikky wikky wee,

      Wikky bikky twikky tee,

      Spikky bikky bee!

      Mrs. Spikky Sparrow said,

      'Spikky, Darling! in my head

      'Many thoughts of trouble come,

      'Like to flies upon a plum!

      'All last night, among the trees,

      'All your life I wish you luck!

      'You are! you are! a lovely duck!

      'Witchy witchy witchy wee!

      'Twitchy witchy witchy bee!

      Tikky tikky tee!

      'I was also sad, and thinking,

      'When one day I saw you winking,

      'And I heard you sniffle-snuffle,

      'And I saw your feathers ruffle;

      'To myself I sadly said,

      'She's neuralgia in her head!

      'That dear head has nothing on it!

      'Ought she not to wear a bonnet?

      'Witchy kitchy kitchy wee?

      'Spikky wikky mikky bee?

      'Chippy wippy chee?

      'Let us both fly up to town!

      'There I'll buy you such a gown!

      'Which, completely in the fashion,
