Living
What Shall I Buy?
From Rhymes and Jingles (1875)
Living
I've got a penny,
What shall I buy?
I'll buy a--whistle,
That's what I'll buy.
I've got two pence,
What shall I buy?
I'll buy a--pop-gun,
That's what I'll buy.
I've got three pence,
What shall I buy?
I'll buy a--horsey,
That's what I'll buy.
