Once on a time, deny it who can,
Up and down, round about, bluff!
I fell into love on a comical plan;
Up and down, round about, gruff!
I posted away, without being afraid,
Up and down, round about, bump!
My head full of love, full of flesh was the maid,
Up and down, round about, plump!

The weather was cold, my bosom was hot,
Up and down, round about, skip!
My heart in a gallop, my mare in a trot!
Up and down, round about, whip!
When I came to the door I stood lumpish and dumb,
Up and down, round about, stock!
The rapper I held with my finger and thumb,
Up and down, round about, knock!

Tat goes the knocker, and Nan shows her chin,
Up and down, round about, hop!
She chuckled and ducked, I bowed and walked in,
Up and down, round about, pop!
I gave her a look as I pulled off my hat,
Up and down, round about, rum!
I squeezed her, I pressed her, I blushed, and all that,
Up and down, round about, mum!
