Little
Tommy Tinker
- Little
Tommy Tinker
- Sat
upon a clinker
- He
began to cry:
- "Mom!
Mom!"
- Poor
little innocent guy.
Note:
A clinker is a hot ash or cinder. The fourth line is shouted loudly while you
jump up and down for each "Mom!"
Thanks
very much to Clellene Lyon, who sent me this Southwest USA version of this song:
- Little Tommy Tucker (pronounced
"Tucka")
- Sat on a Yucca
- He began to cry
- Ma! Ma! (Each singer stands up on each "Ma!")
- Poor little "stuck up" guy!
