Ole King Cole

Old King Cole

was a cruel old soul

& a cruel old soul was he

He called for his wife

he called for his knight

he called for his butchers three

Every butcher, he had a hammer

And a very fine hammer had he-

which the butchers three used

to crush the knight’s ‘n’ queen’s heads

wham bam hammer

went the butchers.

Oh, there’s none so rare,

As can compare

With King Cole and his butchers three.
