Title[ WHEN

When I was a bachelor

    I lived by myself;

And all the bread and cheese I got

    I laid up on the shelf.

The rats and the mice

    They made such a strife,

I was forced to go to London

    To buy me a wife.

The streets were so bad,

    And the lanes were so narrow,

I was forced to bring my wife home

    In a wheelbarrow.

The wheelbarrow broke,

    And my wife had a fall;

Down came wheelbarrow,

    Little wife and all.
