    Hickup, snicup,

        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.

    Pick'd and pluck'd,
        And put in a pie.

        To buy a plum cake;
    Home again, home again,

    And we must go to market again.
