Ten little dollies
Standing in a line,
One tumbled down,
And then there were nine.
Nine little dollies
Sitting up so late,
One went to sleep
Then there were eight.
Eight little dollies--
All their ages even,
One grew up tall
And then there were seven.
Seven little dollies,
Full of funny tricks,
One snapt her head off
Then there were six.
Six little dollies--
Looked almost alive,
One lost her "pin-back,"
Then there were five.
Five little dollies,
Walking by a door,
One got her nose pinched,
Then there were four.
Four little dollies
On their mamma's knee,
One cried her eyes out,
Then there were three.
Three little dollies,
Didn't know what to do,
One tore her bows off,
Then there were two.
Two little dollies,
Very fond of fun,
One melts her nose off,
Then there was one.
One little dolly,
Living all alone,
Died broken-hearted,
Then there were none.
