Cock, coachee, men and maids very near all in buff
Came, and swore in their lives they never met with such light
And each of the family by turns had a puff
At the little farthing rush-light,
The curst farthing rush-light,
But none of the family
Could blow out the rush-light,

The watchman at last went by, crying—one
Here. watchman, come up, that you we might on vorse light.
Then up came the watchman—the business was done
For he turned down the rush-light,
The curst farthing rush-light
Fal lal lal la,
So he put out the rush-light,
