THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT

This is the House that Jack built.

This is the Cat, That killed the Rat, That ate the Malt, That lay in the House that Jack built.

This is the Cow with the crumpled horn,

This is the Maiden all forlorn, That milked the Cow with the crumpled horn,

This is the Man all tattered and torn, That kissed the Maiden all forlorn,

This is the Priest, all shaven and shorn, That married the Man all tattered and torn, That kissed the Maiden all forlorn,

This is the Cock that crowed in the morn That waked the Priest all shaven and shorn, That married the Man all tattered and torn, That kissed the Maiden all forlorn,

This is the Farmer who sowed the corn, That fed the Cock that crowed in the morn, That waked the Priest all shaven and shorn, That married the Man all tattered and torn, That kissed the Maiden all forlorn, That milked the Cow with the crumpled horn,
