When I Was a Little Boy
When I was a little boy,
I washed my
Mother's Dishes.
I put my finger in my
Ear, and pulled out
Little Fishes.
My Mother called me
Good boy,
& bid me pull out more,
I put my Finger
In my Ear,
& pulled out fourscore.

Notes
Here's another version of this rhyme I found in The Only True Mother Goose Melodies (published and copyrighted in Boston in 1833 by Munroe & Francis):
When I was a little boy,
I washed my mammy's dishes,
Now I am a great boy
I roll in golden riches.
