LITTLE MANIKIN

1.
I got a little manikin, I set him on my thoomiken;
I saddled him, I bridled him, and sent him to the
tooniken;
I coffed a pair o' garters to tie his little hosiken;
I coffed a pocket-napkin to dight his little nosiken;
I sent him to the garden to fetch a pund o' sage,
And fand him in the kitchen neuk kissing little Madge!

2.
I had a little lairdie
That sat upo' my thoom,
I saddled 'im an' bridled 'im,
An' had 'im to the toon.
I sent him to the garden
To pu' a buss o' sage,
An' I got 'im in the kitchen,
Kissin' little Mage.
