Weave the diaper tick-a-tick tick, Weave the diaper tick-- Come this way, come that As close as a mat, Athwart and across, up and down, round about, And forwards, and backwards, and inside, and out; Weave the diaper thick-a-thick thick, Weave the diaper thick!
[Used in Somersetshire in counting out the game of pee-wip or pee wit.]
One-ery, two-ery, hickary, hum, Fillison, follison, Nicholson, John, Quever, quauver, Irish Mary, Stenkarum, stankarum, buck!
Whoop, whoop, and hollow, Good dogs won't follow, Without the hare cries "pee wit."
Tom Brown's two little Indian boys, One ran away, The other wouldn't stay,-- Tom Brown's two little Indian boys.
There were two blackbirds, Sitting on a hill, The one nam'd Jack, The other nam'd Jill; Fly away Jack! Fly away Jill! Come again Jack! Come again Jill!
Tip, top, tower, Tumble down in an hour.
