The House Jack Built

This is the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the priest not shaven nor shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the cock that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest not shaven nor shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.




This is the farmer sowing his corn,
That kept the cock that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest not shaven nor shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built.
