Sweet Sally

DOWN IN THE VALLEY WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS,
THERE SAT SALLY AS SWEET AS A ROSE.
SHE SANG, SHE SANG, SHE SANG SO SWEET.
ALONG CAME JIMMY AND KISSED HER ON THE CHEEK.
HOW MANY KISSES DID SHE RECEIVE?
1, 2, 3, (UNTIL ONE MISSES)

Curtsy to the queen,

Turn my back on the mean old king.
