    And I can weave diaper thin,
    I can weave diaper out of doors
    And I can weave diaper in.

        [This should be accompanied by a kind of pantomimic dance, in which the motions of the body and arms express the process of weaving; the motion of the shuttle, & c.]

    Weave the diaper tick-a-tick tick,
    Weave the diaper tick -
    Come this way, come that
    As close as a mat,
    Athwart and across, up and down, round about,
    And forwards, and backwards, and inside, and out;
    Weave the diaper thick-a-thick thick,
    Weave the diaper thick!

    And all the pretty maids are plain to be seen;
    Wash them with milk, and clothe them with silk,
    And write their names with a pen and ink.

    My little old man and I fell out,
    I'll tell you what 'twas all about:
    I had money, and he had none,
    And that's the way the row begun.
