Two sticks and an apple, Ring the bells at Whitechapel. Old Father Bald Pate, Ring the bells Aldgate. Maids in white aprons, Ring the bells at St. Catherine’s. Oranges and Lemons, Ring the bells at St. Clement’s When will you pay me? Ring the bells at the Old Bailey. When I am rich, Ring the bells at Fleetditch. When will that be? Ring the bells of Stepney. When I am old, Ring the great bell at Paul’s.
Anon. (Early 18th Century)
