We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see,
Put toads in your bed,
Or pepper in your tea.
Hurry, Nanny.
Many thanks, sincerely
Jane and Michael Banks

Nose, nose, jolly red nose
Who gave me that jolly red nose?
Cinimmon, ginger, nutmeg & cloves
and that gave me that jolly red nose!

A-wassail, a-wassail a-up hill and down,
Our bowl it is white and our ale it is brown.
Our wassail is made of the good ale and true,
Some nutmeg and ginger, it's the best we can brew.

I'd need a queen.

And your hair falls soft like animals

Don't forget, don't forget
The Mexican spices
(Do do da yap)
The spices, the heart of
The art of the cooking
(whoa, no)
Don't forget, don't forget
The Mexican spices
(Dod do da yap)
Without them you won't
Get the flavor,
The flavor of Mexican sunshine.
