MEXICAN NURSERY SONG: 18 by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "THIS OLD LADY, HIPPITY-HOP"
Last Line: "AND SHE RAN HOME, QUICKITY-QUICK"

This old lady, Hippity-hop,
Cut this piece of wood, flippity-flop.
She cut another,
She cut another,
She cut another,
She cut another, chippity-chop.
She gathered her wood, stick by stick,
And built a fire, flickity-flick.
A--black--cloud--grew.
The wet--rain--blew,

And she ran home, quickity-quick.
