Hey ding a ding, what shall I sing?
From The Nursery Rhymes of England, collected by J. O. Halliwell (London: Warne; first ed. 1842; this printing 1886)
Mythology & Folklore
Hey ding a ding, what shall I sing?
How many holes in a skimmer?
Four and twenty,--my stomach is empty;
Pray, mamma, give me some dinner.
