"From Manchester… my dad and mum told us lots of rhymes... this one stuck in my mind…" -Colette

Notes

Another Version

I went to the pictures tomorrow
I took a front seat at the back,
I fell from the pit to the gallery
And broke a front bone in my back.
A lady she gave me some chocolate,
I ate it and gave it her back.
I phoned for a taxi and walked it,
And that's why I never came back.

That version is from Kirkcaldy, according to "The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren" by Iona and Peter Opie.
