    Come, butter, come!

        [Currants.]

    Higgledy piggledy
        Here we lie,
    Pick'd and pluck'd,
        And put in a pie.
    My first is snapping, snarling, growling,
    My second's industrious, romping, and prowling.
    Higgledy piggledy
        Here we lie,
    Pick'd and pluck'd,
        And put in a pie.

    To market, to market,
        To buy a plum cake;
    Home again, home again,
        Ne'er a one baked;
    The baker is dead and all his men,
    And we must go to market again.
