Part 35 (1/2)
Johnny Jump-up, Johnny Jump-up, Waketh later than them all.
Johnny's eyes are very lovely, Johnny's eyes are very blue; But one hardly cares to see them Snap and dance the whole night through.
Johnny's laugh is clear and ringing, Tinkling like a silver bell; But a child should _not_ be singing Morning, noon, and night as well.
Johnny Jump-up, Johnny Jump-up, Rules us with his tiny hand; Lord and master, king and kaiser, In the realm of Nurseryland.
Take your pleasure without measure; Laugh and crow, and whoop and call!
Johnny Jump-up, Johnny Jump-up, We're your faithful servants all!
THE OUTLANDISHMAN.
The Outlandishman came o'er the sea, o'er the sea, In a skipaway flipaway boat; And who so merry, so merry as he, As soon as he got afloat?
He sat on the p.o.o.p to gobble his soup With a spoon, with a spoon of the best; And part of his fast he broke on the mast, And smashed on the bowsprit the rest.
He lowered his line in the deep, in the deep, And invited the fishlikins up; Then he hung them in rows in front of his nose, And wished it were time to sup.
Then the Bottlegreen Bovis arose, arose, And asked was he game for a fight; But he seized on the anchor and threw it with rancor, And the foe-fish retired from sight.
He danced on the deck with never a check Till the clock, till the clock struck nine.
And his eyes did wink, and he sang ”tink a tink!”
In the mowl of the merry moons.h.i.+ne.
Lo! all of these things the Outlandishman did, As he sailed, as he sailed on the sea.
Yea, more! yea, more! both sorry and sore, But you never shall learn them from me.
A SLEIGH-RIDE.
Ting! ring! the sleigh-bells jingle Merrily over the frozen snow.
Cheeks a-glow and ears a-tingle, Tumble in, children, here we go!
Ting! ring! the sleigh-bells jingle!
Get along, Dobbin! go along, Jack!
Bells and voices merrily mingle, Swift we fly as an arrow's track.
Ting! ring! the sleigh-bells jingle!
Nose cold, Tommy? Here, rub it with snow!
Toes ache, Ned? Just kick till they tingle, Thump! thump! thump! on the dasher, so!
Ting! ring! the sleigh-bells jingle!
Snow-wreaths fly like a snow-sea's foam.
Sweet bells, sweet laugh, hark! how they mingle!
