One, Two, Three, Skipping Song

One, two, three, stitch
Everyone get in the ditch
Follow the piper into the hill
Hide in the cupboard be very still

Three, four, five, delve
Cash in the teapot on the shelf
Rainy day money
For when the wind blows
And knocks down the house
When the bomb explodes

Five, six, seven, pop
Corn in the pan on the stove top
Safe here together
Now don’t say a word
Papa’s gonna buy you a mocking bird.

And if that mocking bird don’t sing
Then t’worms will come
And eat thou up, eat thou up
Hey death where is thy sting?
