“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
Better hurry--do not be late.
Best of food is on the table,
Eat as much as you are able--
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
A welcome waits at every plate.
Shining silver, spotless linen,
Waitresses, all pretty women--
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
Ascending sweet from one to eight,
Descending just as sweet to one--
The chimes have stopp’d, the meal’s begun.
