Robin the Bobbin, the big – bellied Ben, He ate more meat than fourscore men; He ate a cow, he ate a calf, He ate a butcher and a half, He ate a church, he ate a steeple, He ate a priest and all the people! A cow and a calf, An ox and a half, A church and a steeple, And all good people, And yet he complained that his stomach wasn’t full.
Robin the Bobbin,
the big – bellied Ben,
He ate more meat
than fourscore men;
He ate a cow,
he ate a calf,
He ate a butcher and a half,
He ate a church,
he ate a steeple,
He ate a priest
and all the people!
A cow and a calf,
An ox and a half,
A church and a steeple,
And all good people,
And yet he complained
that his stomach wasn’t full.
