A Song for Bertie
From Rhymes and Jingles (1875)
Living
Baby buffetty met a cow--
Moo, moo! How d'ye do?
Baby Buffetty made a bow--
Moo, moo! How d'ye do?
Baby Buffetty met a sheep--
Baa, baa! How's your ma?
Baby Buffetty gave a leap--
Baa, baa! How's your ma?
Baby Buffetty met a lion--
Roar, G-r-r-rooo! Go away!
Baby Buffetty ran off crying,
Roar, G-r-r-rooo! Go away!
