When the cock begins to crow
Cock-a-doodle-do, cock-a-doodle-do,
And the embers leave to glow,
And the owl cries, To-whit-to-who,
When the crickets do sing and mice roam about:
When midnight bells ring to call the devout,
When the lazy lie stretching, and think it no harm;
Their zeal is so cold and their beds are so warm,
When the long lazy slut
Has not made the parlour clean;
No water on the hearth is put
But all things in disorder seen,
Then we trip it round the room
And make like bees a drowsy hum.
Be she Betty, Nan or Sue
We make her of another hue,
And pinch her black and blue.
