Note to recorder:

Natural speed please.

As I was coming to school, Sir,
To learn my A B C,
I was picked up and put in a sack, Sir,
And carried off on his back, Sir,
By a Russian who took me to the sea.

So I had to swim all the way back, Sir,
And I still had my legs in the sack, Sir,
And the waves they were forty foot high, Sir,
Which is really the reason why, Sir –
I would not tell a lie, Sir –
I’m late for school today.
Is it all right to go out to play?
