There was a man in our town / And he was wond'rous wise; / He jumped into a bramble bush / And scratched out both his eyes. / And when he saw his eyes were out, / With all his might and main / He jumped into another bush / And scratched them in again!
OUR town is a quiet little town, and lies nestling in a little valley surrounded by pretty green hills. I do not think you would ever have heard our town mentioned had not the man lived there who was so wise that everyone marvelled at his great knowledge.
