peswar

Others not so far mentioned (I think) are

When I was one I plyed the drum
The day I went to sea,
I jumped on board a pirate ship
And the captain said to me
We're going this way, that way, that way, this way
Over the Irish sea,
A bottle of Rum
To warm my tum
And that's the life for me.....

When I was two I lost my shoe the day I went to sea etc....
When I was three I ate my tea etc...
When I was four I ate some more etc. etc. etc.

Four wheels on my wagon!

Oh theres loads more! I'll have to go away and rack my brains!
