Little Tommy Tucker sang for his supper. / What did he sing for? white bread and butter. / How could he cut it, without any knife? / How could he marry, without any wife?
LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER was a waif of the streets. He never remembered having a father or mother or any one to care for him, and so he learned to care for himself. He ate whatever he could get, and slept wherever night overtook him -- in an old barrel, a cellar, or, when fortune favored him, he paid a penny for a cot in some rude lodging-house.
