I / The Broom and the Shovel, the Poker and Tongs, / They all took a drive in the Park; / And they each sang a song, ding-a-dong, ding-a-dong! / Before they went back in the dark.
Mr. Poker he sat quite upright in the coach; / Mr. Tongs made a clatter and clash; / Miss Shovel was dressed all in black (with a brooch); / Mrs. Broom was in blue (with a sash).
