I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit. 
And on a slitted sheet I sit. 
I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit. 
The sheet I slit, that sheet was it. 

One smart fellow, he felt smart. 
Two smart fellows, they felt smart. 
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart.

Robert Rolly rolled a round. 
If Robert Rolly rolled a round roll round.

A big black bug bit a big black bear, then a big 
Black bear bit the big black bug. 
And when the big black bear bit the big black bug, 
Then the big black bug bit the big black bear. 

If a white chalk chalks on a black blackboard, 
Will a black chalk chalk on a white blackboard? 

She saw a fish on the seashore and I'm sure 
The fish she saw on the seashore was a saw-fish. 

Swan swan over the sea, 
Swim, swan, swim; 
Swan swam back again, 
Well swum, swan.

Two Fellow 
Once a fellow met a fellow 
In a field of beans. 
Said a fellow to a fellow, 
"If a fellow asks a fellow, 
Can a fellow tell a fellow 
What a fellow means?" 

The Fish 

The fishy fish 
Went swishy swish swish 
As it swam along the shore 
It had two baby fishes, 
That would fit in two dishes 
And who could ask for more? 

Chitterabob 

There was a man, and his name was Dob, 
And he had a wife, and her name was Mob, 
And he had a dog, and he called it Cob, 
And he had a cat called Chitterabob. 

"Cob", says Dob, 
"Chitterabob" says Mob. 
Cob was Dob's dog, 
Chitterabob Mob's cat. 

A Sailor 

A sailor went to sea 
To see, what he could see. 
And all he could see 
Was sea, sea, sea.
