A toast to all your fine ambition, about which we all rant;

Here's to the world as round as a wheel

That all must feel,

If this life were a thing that you could buy,

The Jews would all live while the Irish would die.

Language: Rhyme

Little Sally Walker, sittin in a saucer,
Rise, Sally, Rise.
Now winking eyes, Now you shake it to the East,
Shake it to the West, Shake it to the very one that Sally loves the best.
Around and around and around she goes,
Where she stops, nobody knows.
