Mythology & Folklore
Here sits the Lord Mayor forehead.
From The Nursery Rhymes of England, collected by J. O. Halliwell (London: Warne; first ed. 1842; this printing 1886)
Here sits the Lord Mayor forehead.
Here sit his two men eyes.
Here sits the cock right cheek.
Here sits the hen left cheek.
Here sit the little chickens tip of nose.
Here they run in mouth.
Chinchopper, chinchopper,
Chinchopper, chin! chuck the chin.
