Chorus :
Ro, ro, the rattling bog,
The bog down in the valley - o;
A rare bog, a rattling bog,
The bog down in the valley - o.

Now in that bog there was a tree
A rare tree, a rattling tree,
And the tree was in the bog,
The bog down in the valley - o.

(Chorus)

And on that tree there was a branch,
A rare branch, a rattling branch,
And the branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the bog,
The bog down in the valley - o.

Continue in this way, adding the verses : twig - nest - egg - bird - wing - feather - flea - leg - foot - boot leading to

And on that boot there was a lace,
A rare lace, a rattling lace,
And the lace was on the boot and the boot was on the foot and the foot was on the leg and the leg was on the flea and the flea was on the feather and the feather was on the wing and the wing was on the bird and the bird was on the egg and the egg was in the nest and the nest was on the branch and the branch was on the tree and the tree was in the bog,
The bog down in the valley - o

(Chorus)

And on that lace there was an end.

... and just stop there!
