     There was an old widow of Wapping;
     There is a sweet pretty coutry in Kent:
     She heard that her friends had gone hopping,
     And thought she'd go too. So she went.
          Now this simple old dear,
          Who was sixty - and plump,
          Thought a hop, it is clear,
          Is a one-lègged jump;
And thus she progressed - hop-hop-hop - hop -
               through Wapping,
     On - on - into sweet pretty Kent.
