Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain,
He stepped in a puddle,
Right up to his middle,

Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross
Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.

He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
