may i feel said he
(i'll squeal said she
As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
I'll tell of the Battle of Hastings, As happened in days long gone by,

One day, little Albert Ramsbottom To see 'ow much money 'e'd got
On young Albert Ramsbottom's birthday His parents asked what he'd like most;

Joe Ramshottom rented a bit of a farm From its owner, Squire Goslett his name;
