Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum And said, "What a good boy am I" Little Jack Horner knew he was born the day before Christmas day He said to himself, "I'll sit on the shelf and merrily carol away" The girls and the boys on hearing the noise Came running from far and near They saw the great plum on top on top of Jack's thumb And everyone started to cheer Everyone started to cheer, "Hooray!"
