This ram was fat behind, sir; this ram was fat before ;

This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed he was no more;
No more, no more, no more;

This ram was ten yards round, sir; indeed he was no more.

The horns that grew on his head, sir, they were so wondrous
high,
As I’ve been plainly told, sir, they reached up to the sky ;
The sky, the sky, the sky ;
As I’ve been plainly told, sir, they reached up to the sky.

The tail that grew from his back, sir, was six yards and an
ell ;
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell ;
The bell, the bell, the bell ;
And it was sent to Derby to toll the market bell.

OH, who is so merry, so merry, heigh ho!

As the light-hearted fairy, heigh ho, heigh ho!
He dances and sings
To the sound of his wings,

With a hey, and a heigh, and a ho!

Oh, who is so merry, so airy, heigh ho!

‘As the light-headed fairy, heigh ho, heigh ho!
His nectar he sips
From the primrose’s lips,

With a hey, and a heigh, and a ho!
