NURSERY SONG [IN PIDGIN ENGLISH] by ANONYMOUS

First Line: SINGEE A SONGEE SICK A PENCE
Last Line: NIPEE OFF HER NOSE!

SINGEE a songee sick a pence,
Pockee muchee lye;
Dozen two time blackee bird
Cookee in e pie.
When him cutee topside
Birdee bobbery sing;
Himee tinkee nicey dish
Setee foree King!

Kingee in a talkee loom
Countee muchee money;
Queeny in e kitchee,
Chew-chee breadee honey.
Servant galo shakee,
Hangee washee clothes;
Cho-chop comee blackie bird,
Nipee off her nose!
