SONGS for CHILDREN, SONG X

Singing, dancing, anticks, tumbling, Trick on trick still merry jumbling; Full of laughing, joking, sporting, To the booths the crowd resorting. such is a country fair, boys.

People still on people pressing, Players and their puppets dressing; Some the pence together scraping, Others quite employ'd in gaping. Such is a country fair, boys.

While the crowds thus oddly mixing, Merry Andrew throws his tricks in; Merry Andrew still diverting, For his tricks there is no hurt in. Such is a country fair, boys.

Here are ribbands, caps, and laces, Cakes and toys in other places; All alike for shew displaying, Chuse at will, it is but paying. Such is a country fair, boys.

Nanny, Billy, Patty, Molly, Little Ned and sister Dolly; All will go to spend their treasure, For the scene is full of pleasure. Such is a country fair, boys.
