Who can run fastest Lily or Rose? / Take care, my babies, mind your wee toes, / Come little toddlekins, now let me see, / Who'll be the first one to get to me.
Catch, catch who can, don't tumble, don't fall, / That you know, dearies, would not do at all. / Lily's ahead, hurry up, Rosy, / Don't fall, dearie, and bump your nosey.
Patter on, patter on, little feet, / Both of my horses are very fleet. / Which ever baby girl wins the race, / There will be smiles on each little face.
Both at once, come along, that's the way, / Here you are, which was the first one, say? / I'm sure I don't see how I can tell, / For both little children did so well.
