"When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came to man's estate,
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate
For the rain it raineth every day....

...A great while ago the world begun
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you everyday."
