Cheep! cheep! Oh, Mother, see this darling little chick!
Old Speck has ten of them.
There are seven black ones, and the rest are yellow.
They are such darling little chicks!
I had a stick to get this black one from its mother.
I had to be so quick.
S peck gave me such a peck on the hand.
S ee that big yellow one on the mother ’s back.
D id it say “Quack”?
Yes, it did.
Then it must be a ducking.
We must shut up the hen and her chicks in the shed.
Hickety, pickety, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen,
Sometimes nine and sometimes ten,
Hickety, pickety, my black hen.
