Come and Buy My Toys

[Chorus]
Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red

[Verse 1]
Rich men's children running past
Their fathers dressed in hose
Golden hair and mud of many acres on their shoes
Gazing eyes and running wild
Past the stocks and over stiles
Kiss the window merry child
But come and buy my toys

[Verse 2]
You've watched your father plough the fields with a ram's horn
Sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn
Reaped it with a sharpened scythe, threashed it with a quill
The miller told your father that he'd work it with the greatest will
Now your watching's over, you must play with girls and boys
Leave the parsley on the stalls
Come and buy my toys

[Bridge]
You shall own a cambric shirt
You shall work your father's land
But now you shall play in the market square
Till you'll be a man

[Chorus]
Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red
