King's Cross!
What shall we do?
His Purple Robe
Is rent in two!

Nursery Rhymes of London Town (1916)

In Fleet Street, in Fleet Street, the People are so fleet
They barely touch the cobble-stones with their nimble feet!

Nursery Rhymes of London Town (1916)

The little White Chapel
Is ringing its bell
With a ring-a-ding-dong,
All day long

Nursery Rhymes of London Town (1916)

Water, Loo! water, Loo! fetch me some water!
There isn't a drop for a mile and a quarter!
The ground is so hard and the ground is so dry
I'm frightened my little red rose-bush will die.
