Not Last Night but The Night Before
Paul wrote: "My father, born in Southland, New Zealand, in 1916, used to recite this version..."
Not Last Night but The Night Before
Lap Rhyme
Not last night
But the night before
Two tom cats came
Knocking at the door
I went downstairs
To let them in
But they knocked me down
With a rolling pin.
Notes
Paul wrote, "My father's mother's mother came from Scotland and that's probably the lineage. And there are lots of other Scots down there at the bottom (cold end) of NZ."
