Swim, swan, swim!

Swan swam back again,

Well swum, swan!

Bill Button bought a butter'd biscuit;

Did Billy Button buy a butter'd biscuit?

Davy Dolldrum dream'd he drove a dragon;

Betty Botter bought some butter,

But, she said, the butter's bitter;

If I put it in my batter

It will make my batter bitter,

but a bit of better butter

Will make my batter better.

So she bought a bit of butter

Better than her bitter butter,

And she put it in her batter

And the batter was not bitter.

So 'twas better Betty Botter

Bought a bit of better butter.
