A ring, a ring o’ roses,

A pocket full of posies;

Tishoo, tishoo,

All stand still.

The King has sent his daughter,

To fetch a pail of water;

Tishoo, tishoo,

All fall down.

The bird upon the steeple,

Sits high above the people;

Tishoo, tishoo,

All kneel down.

The wedding bells are ringing,

The boys and girls are singing;

Tishoo, tishoo,

All fall down.
