One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
Three... Four... Knock at the door
Five... Six... Pick up sticks
Nine... Ten... A big fat hen
Eleven... Twelve... Dig and delve
Thirteen... Fourteen... Maids a-courting
Fifteen... Sixteen... Maids in the kitchen
Seventeen... Eighteen... Maids a-waiting
Nineteen... Twenty... I've had plenty!

One for death and two for birth,
Three for wind and four for earth,
Five for fire, six for rain,
Seven's joy and eight is pain,
Nine to go, ten back again!
This STICK will TELL the ONE we CHOOSE
To BE the LORD in SHINing SHOES
To RUle LANDS both NEAR and FAR
The STICK says YOU will BE King THAR!
Under the ocean, green and deep
Lie the fishes fast asleep,
Under the arm and over the shoe,
Tap on the head, and out goes YOU!
One for sorrow,
two for joy,
three for a girl,
for for a boy,
five for silver,
six for gold,
seven for a secret,
never to be told,
eight for a wish,
nine for a kiss,
ten for a time
of joyous bliss.
Bee, a bee, a bumblebee
Stung a man upon his knee
And a hog upon his snout,
I'll be dogged if you ain't out!
Eeny, meeny, miney, moe
Catch a tiger by his toe,
If he squeals, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miney, moe.
One, two, three, four, five,
I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
I let him go again.
O-U-T spells out goes you!

With stoutest wrists and loudest boasts,
He thrusts his fist against the posts
And still insists he sees the ghosts.

Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.

Or to tutor two tooters to toot?”

Made the big black bear bleed blood.
