“Have You Ever Been to London” 
Refrain:
Have you ever been to London?
Have you ever been to London?
Have you ever been to London?
How many things were there?
1.
 One little, two little, three little bobbies,
Four little, five little, six little bobbies,
Seven little, eight, little, nine little bobbies,
Ten little bobbies seen.
(refrain)
2. Ten little, nine little, eight little bobbies,
Seven little, six little, five little bobbies,
Four little, three little, two little bobbies,
One little bobbie seen.
(refrain)
