There was a man in another town,
And his name was Willy Wood,
And he played upon a raxor,
And his name was Willy Wood.
And he ate up all the good cream cheese,
And his name, etc.
And he ate up all the good roast beef,
And his name, etc.
And he ate up all the penny loaves,

And there was an end of Willy Wood.
