Calico Pie,
little Bird fly


Down to the calico tree,

Wings were blue,


singing ‘Tilly-Tilly-loo!’


Till away they flew, -

But they never came back to me!

Calico Jam,


Little Fish swam,


Over the syllabub sea,


He took off his hat,


To the Sole and the Sprat,


And the Willeby-Bat, -

But he never came back to me!

Never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.

Never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.


 Oh he never came back…

Calico Ban,


Little Mice ran,


To be ready (in time) for tea,


Flippity flup,


They drank it all up,


Danced in the cup, -

But they never came back to me!

Well, He never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.


Never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.


Oh he never came back…

Calico Drum,


Grasshoppers come,


Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,


Over the ground, 
Around and around,


With a hop and a bound, -


But they never came back to me!

Oh he never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.

Never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.

Never came back

never came back,


He never came

he never came back to me.


Oh he never came back…
