Now We Are Six

Tinker, Tailor ,

Soldier, Sailor ,

Rich Man, Poor Man ,

Ploughboy, Thief—

And what about a Cowboy,

Policeman, Jailer,

Engine-driver,

Or Pirate Chief?

What about a Postman—or a Keeper at the Zoo?

What about the Circus Man who lets the people through?

And the man who takes the pennies for the round-abouts and swings,

Or the man who plays the organ, and the other man who sings?

What about a Conjuror with rabbits in his pockets?

What about a Rocket Man who’s always making rockets?

Oh, there’s such a lot of things to do and such a lot to be

That there’s always lots of cherries on my little cherry-tree!
