THE DUNCE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "RING THE BELLS, RING! / HIP, HURRAH FOR THE KING!"
Last Line: "AND HE PIPED HIS EYE LIKE A FOOL, OH!"

RING the bells, ring!
Hip, hurrah for the King!
The dunce fell into the pool, oh!
The dunce was going to school, oh!
The groom and the cook
Fished him out with a hook,
And he piped his eye like a fool, oh!
