I go to the market for
One fish, for two fish,

And bring them back home to eat.
Monday morning is market day,
I go to the market for

Three eggs, for four eggs,
And bring them back home to eat.
Monday morning is market day,

I go to the market for
Five plums, for six plums,
And bring them back home to eat.

Monday morning is market day,
I go to the market for
Seven cakes, for eight cakes,

And bring them back home to eat.
Monday morning is market day,
I go to the market for

Nine pies, for ten pies,
And bring them back home to eat.
Monday morning was market day,

I went to the market to
Buy food, but ate it,
Now I've got a tummy ache.
