7. The Billy Goat And Nanny Goat
The billy goat sitteth and weepeth;
He hath sent the nanny goat after nuts;
She hath gone away and disappeared.
So the billy goat hath begun to sing this song:
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, nanny goat! I'll send the wolf after thee!"
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat Cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, wolf! I'll send the bear after thee!"
The bear will not go to kill the wolf,
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, bear! I'll send the man after thee!"
The man will not go to shoot the bear,
The bear will not go to kill the wolf.
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, man! I'll send the stick after thee!"
The stick will not go to beat the man,
The man will not go to shoot the bear,
The bear will not go to kill the wolf.
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, stick! I'll send the ax after thee!"
The ax will not go to cut the stick,
The stick will not go to beat the man.
The man will not go to shoot the bear,
The bear will not go to kill the wolf.
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, ax! I'll send the stone after thee!"
The stone will not go to grind the ax,
The ax will not go to cut the stick,
The stick will not go to beat the man.
The man will not go to shoot the bear.
The bear will not go to kill the wolf.
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, stone! I'll send the fire after thee!"
The fire will not go to burn the stone,
The stone will not go to grind the ax.
The ax will not go to cut the stick,
The stick will not go to beat the man.
The man will not go to shoot the bear,
The bear will not go to kill the wolf.
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, fire! I'll send the water after thee!"
The water will not go to quench the fire,
The fire will not go to bum the stone,
The stone will not go to grind the ax,
The ax will not go to cut the stick,
The stick will not go to beat the man.
The man will not go to shoot the bear,
The bear will not go to kill the wolf,
The wolf will not go to chase the goat.
"The nanny goat Cometh not with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts.
Very good, water! I'll send the tempest after thee!"
The tempest began to chase the water,
The water began to quench the fire,
The fire began to burn the stone,
The stone began to grind the ax.
The ax began to cut the stick.
The stick began to beat the man.
The man began to shoot the bear.
The bear began to kill the wolf.
The wolf began to chase the goat.
"Here is the nanny goat with the nuts,
The nanny goat with the red-hot nuts."
