A Healthy Boy was Alfred Jones - Old Mother Hubbard

A healthy boy was Alfred Jones
So fat you could not see his bones
He soon was sick and blue as silk
And his mother gave him bread and milk
But he left it standing by his side
And only blabbered, roared and cried,
I don’t like bread and milk I don’t
I won’t eat bread and milk I won’t
I hate the bread and milk I do
Oh dear, oh dear, ooh woo, woo ooh

--

Old Mother Hubbard,
She went to the cupboard,
She took her poor dog a bone
But when she got there, the cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

Patented England, Nov. 1887, May, 1888.
