Hum, hum, heigh-ho hum!
Thou may'st have it if thou'rt willing,
Hum, hum, heigh-ho hum!"
She.—"What care I for rings or money?
Teedle link tum, teedle tum a tee;
I'll have a man who'll call me honey,
Teedle link tum, teedle tum a tee."
He.—"Madam, thou art tall and slender,
Hum, hum, heigh-ho hum!
And I know thy heart is tender,
Hum, hum, heigh-ho hum!"
She.—"Sir, I see you are a flatterer,
Teedle link tum, teedle tum a tee;
And I never loved a Quaker,
Teedle link tum, teedle tum a tee."

Hum, hum, heigh-ho hum!
Be a Methodist, or Presbyterian?
Hum, hum, heigh-ho hum!"
She.—"Cheer up, cheer up, loving brother,
Teedle link tum, teedle tum a tee;
If you can't catch one fish, catch another,
Teedle link tum, teedle tum a tee."
