Can anyone remember the lyrics to a song which started There are six little cots in nursery and part of was golliwog downstairs?

There are six little cots in the nursery

And four little beds in the spare.

There's a room full of toys in the attic,

And a golliwog downstairs.

First comes Baby: then Lily-of-the-valley;

Then Pansy, Primrose, Daffodilly,

Last of all, Miss Pink Rosemery.

First comes Baby, with a trumpet

A-tootling like a mightly hunter

Then comes Lily-of-the-valley,

Crying for a dose of salts,

Then comes Pansy, Primrose, Daffodilly,

Last of all, Miss Pink Rosemery.

They're all mine - so my Daddy and Mummy tells me,

And I mustn't give them away.

I'll love them and keep them and never

Forget what my mammy does say:

"You must never be naughty, or the fairies

Will come take your sisters and brothers;

You must learn all your lessons and pray

To your Heavenly Father above"

So I love them and keep them, and try to

Be good as my mammy desires,

And I never forget what my Daddy and Mummy tells me

About the six little cots and the four little beds

And the room full of toys in the attic,

And the golliwog downstairs.
