I gave her pig and I gave her pie and I gave her punch and perry, and Peggy grew merry, grew wonderful merry. I pledged her twice and she pledged me thrice, and at last we both were merry. She prattled and tattled, her little tongue never was weary, I gave her pig and I gave her pie and I thought she would never be weary.
