She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes
She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes
She’ll be coming ’round the mountain, she’ll be coming ’round the mountain,
She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I get sick before I wake,
I pray instead a boy you’ll take
No more pencils, no more books,
Let’s chase all the boys with hooks

Sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
He put in his thumb,
And he pulled out a plum,
And said, “What a good boy am I!”

Catch a man right by the toe.

A woman has the right to use force to defend herself from male aggression

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Watching all of the men die.
Bye, baby Bunting,
Mother’s gone a-hunting,
Gone to get a raw Man-skin
To wrap the baby Bunting in
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three

The monkey chased the weasel.
