There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!'

There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, \'Does it buzz?\'
He replied, \'Yes, it does!\'
\'It\'s a regular brute of a Bee!\'

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.

There was an Old Man with a flute,
A sarpint ran into his boot;
But he played day and night,
Till the sarpint took flight,
And avoided that man with a flute.

There was an Old Man of Vienna,
Who lived upon Tincture of Senna;
When that did not agree,
He took Camomile Tea,

There was an Old Person whose habits,
Induced him to feed upon rabbits;
When he'd eaten eighteen,
He turned perfectly green,
Upon which he relinquished those habits.

There was an Old Man of the Wrekin
Whose shoes made a horrible creaking
But they said, \'Tell us whether,
Your shoes are of leather,
Or of what, you Old Man of the Wrekin?\'

There was a Young Lady whose eyes,
Were unique as to colour and size;
When she opened them wide,
People all turned aside,
And started away in surprise.

There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;
But some very large rats,
Ate his coats and his hats,
While that futile old gentleman dozed.

There was a Young Lady of Dorking,
Who bought a large bonnet for walking;
But its colour and size,
So bedazzled her eyes,
That she very soon went back to Dorking.

There was an Old Man of Columbia,
Who was thirsty, and called out for some beer;
But they brought it quite hot,
In a small copper pot,
Which disgusted that man of Columbia.

Who wore a pale plum-coloured vest;

Who casually sat on a doorway;
When the door squeezed her flat,

Whose face was pervaded with smiles;

Whose toilette was far from complete;
She dressed in a sack,
Spickle-speckled with black,

Who made a remarkable curtsey;

There was an Old Man with a gong,
Who bumped at it all day long;
But they called out, \'O law!
You\'re a horrid old bore!\'
So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
