Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And said, "What's in the bowl, bitch?"

So she killed them

Its fleece was white as snow
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
And got raped by a big black dog

Went to the cupboard
to fetch poor Rover a bone.
But when she bent over,
Rover drove her
'Cause Rover had a bone of his own!

Who kept a dead whore in his cave,

But just look at the money I save.

4 you're under the host.
