Rop strop by, Mister Gamble "Sir, I cannot tell you that You'll have to ask my Uncle Rat" Rop strop by, Mister Gamble He-mo, I-mo, ke-mo, ky-mo Rody-rodie-ray Rop strop, pin-winkle, flannel-doodle, yell-a-bug Rop strop by, Mister Gamble Now Uncle Rat gave his consent Rop strop by, Mister Gamble And the weasel wrote out the publishment Rop strop by, Mister Gamble He-mo, I-mo, ke-mo, ky-mo Rody-rodie-ray Rop strop, pin-winkle, flannel-doodle, yell-a-bug Rop strop by, Mister Gamble "Where will the supper be?" Rop strop by, Mister Gamble "Way down yonder in a hollow tree" Rop strop by, Mister Gamble "What will the supper be?"
