Now We Are Six

I think I am a Muffin Man. I haven’t got a bell,

I haven’t got the muffin things that muffin people sell.

Perhaps I am a Postman. No, I think I am a Tram.

I’m feeling rather funny and I don’t know what I am—

BUT

Round about

And round about

And round about I go—

All around the table,

The table in the nursery—

Round about

And round about

And round about I go;

I think I am a Traveller escaping from a Bear;

I think I am an Elephant,

Behind another Elephant

Behind another Elephant who isn’t really there….

SO

Round about

And round about

And round about and round about

And round about

And round about

I go.

I think I am a Ticket Man who’s selling tickets—please,

I think I am a Doctor who is visiting a Sneeze;

Perhaps I’m just a Nanny who is walking with a pram

I’m feeling rather funny and I don’t know what I am—

BUT

Round about

And round about

And round about I go—

All around the table,

The table in the nursery—

Round about

And round about

And round about I go:

I think I am a Puppy, so I’m hanging out my tongue;

I think I am a Camel who

Is looking for a Camel who

Is looking for a Camel who is looking for its Young….

SO

Round about

And round about

And round about and round about

And round about

And round about

I go.
