“ Three mice went into a hole to spin;
Puss passed by, and Puss looked in;
“What are you doing, my little men?”
“Weaving coats for Gentlemen”
“Please let me help you to wind off your threads;”
“Ah, no, Mistress Pussy, you’d bite off our heads! ”

“ Ah, no, Mistress Pussy, you’d bite off our heads!”
2. Says Puss: “You look so wondrous wise,
I like your whiskers and bright black eyes;
Your house is the nicest house I see,
I think there is room for you and me.”
The mice were so pleased that they opened the door.
And Pussy soon laid them all dead on the floor.
And Pussy soon laid them all dead on the floor.

FOUR-AND-TWENTY TAILORS. [Listen] [PDF] [MusicXML]
Four-and-twenty tailors
Went to kill a snail;
The best man among them
Durst not touch her tail
She put out her horns
Like a little Kyloe cow;
Run, tailors, run! ”

“ CURLY LOCKS. [Listen] [PDF] [MusicXML]
Curly Locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion and sew up a seam,
And eat fine strawberries, sugar and cream.
Curly Locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor feed the swine.
