We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy

We are all in the dumps

For diamonds are thumps

The kittens are gone to St. Paul’s!

The baby is bit

The moon’s in a fit

And the houses are built

Without walls

Jack and Guy

Went out in the Rye

And they found a little boy

With one black eye

Come says Jack let’s knock

Him on the head

No says Guy

Let’s buy him some bread

You buy one loaf

And I’ll buy two

And we’ll bring him up

As other folk do
