Bow-wow, says the dog;\r
Mew-mew, says the cat;\r
Grunt, grunt, goes the hog;\r
And squeak, goes the rat.\r
Chirp, chirp, says the sparrow;\r
Caw, caw, says the crow;\r
Quack, quack, says the duck;\r
And what cuckoos say, you know.\r
\r
So, with sparrows and cuckoos,\r
With rats and with dogs,\r
With ducks and with crows,\r
With cats and with hogs,\r
A fine song I have made,\r
To please you, my dear;\r
And if its well sung,\r
T will be charming to hear
