Cackle and lay, cackle and lay! / How many eggs did you get to-day? / Two in the manger, and four in the shed, / Six in the box where the chickens are fed, / Two in the tussocks and ten in the tub, / And nearly two dozen right out in the scrub.
Hip, hooray! Pudding to-day! / I think that the hens are beginning to lay.
