"Begin" says Harry, " I, I," says
Mary
We'll lead the Paddington Pound
"Do" says Jess, "Oh no" says Bess
We'll have St Leger's Round

'Begin' says Hall ; 'Aye, aye' says
Mall
'We'll lead up PACKINGTON'S POUND
'No, no' says Noll, and so says Doll
'We'll first have SELLENGER'S ROUND (*)
Then every man began
To foot it round about
And every girl did jet it
Jet it, jet it, in and out
(*) The common modern copies read "St. Leger's
Round"

She'd nig-nog, duffle, snuggle,
concomitate and quag
She'd dance "The Shaking of the Sheets", fadoodle, wap and shag
She'd "Come the Caster," niggle, jerk, and "Hear the Nightingale"
She'd nest-hide, dance "St. Leger's Round", and do it with her
tail
