I was on my way to Banbury Cross,
                     
Then I see a monkey up-on a white horse.
     
With rings on he fingers, bells on him toes,
                        
 Sing a little song, wher-ever he be.

            
'Cos he's a monkey, 'cos he's a monkey,
                                      
'Cos he's a weedy, weedy, weedy, little monkey man.
