 X. FORTY DUKES

'Forty dukes a-riding, my ducy, dulcy officer, Forty dukes a-riding, my ducy, dulcy day. What do you wish for, my ducy, dulcy officer? What do you wish for, my ducy, dulcy day?' 'I wish to catch the naughty girls, naughty girls, naughty girls, I wish to catch the naughty girls, my ducy dulcy day.'

'We are none of us naughty, sir, my ducy, dulcy officer, We are none of us naughty, sir, my ducy, dulcy day.' 'How do you show your goodness, girls, goodness, girls, goodness, girls,' How do you show your goodness, girls, my ducy, dulcy day?'

'We all do as we're bidden, sir, my ducy, dulcy officer, We all do as we're bidden, sir, my ducy, dulcy day.' 'Then I bid you stop your game, stop your game, stop your game, Then I bid you stop your game, my ducy, dulcy day.'
