16.
The Jolly Jester



Oh, my little sixpence, my pretty little sixpence,
I love sixpence better than my life;
I spent a penny of it, I lent another,
And I took fourpence home to my wife.
Oh, my little fourpence, my pretty little fourpence,
I love fourpence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it, I lent another,
And I took fourpence home to my wife.
Oh, my little twopence, my pretty little twopence,
I love twopence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it, I lent another,
And I took nothing home to my wife.
Oh, my little nothing, my pretty little nothing,
What will nothing buy for my wife?
I have nothing, I spend nothing,
I love nothing better than my wife.
