¶Lyrics / Text

Here's that will challenge all the Fair, Come buy my nuts and Damsons, my Burgamy Pear; Here's the Whore of Babylon, the Devil and the Pope, The Girl is just a-going on the Rope: Here's Dives and Lazarus, and the World's Creation; Here's the Dutch Woman, the like's not in the Nation; Here is the Booth where the tall Dutch Maid is, Here are Bears that dance like any Ladies: To-ta, to-ta, tot, goes the little penny Trumpet, Here's your Jacob Hall that can jump it, jump it: Sound, Trumpet, sound, a silver Spoon and Forkl Come, here's your dainty Pig and Pork.
