Young Mary had a penny and the little girl was itchin'
To tell her mum where it was from, she ran into the kitchen.
"Oh Mummy Mummy!" Mary cried "I've earned myself some money."
Her mother took time from her chores and said "Where's that from Honey?"

Said Mary, "Well some boys from school, there wasn't very many,
They asked me to climb up a tree, then paid me this here penny"
"Oh Mary!" cried her mother, "Those boys are just dirty trickers,
They paid you to climb up the tree to see your frilly knickers"

Young Mary was quite taken back, she hadn't seen their schemin'
Her lip popped out and down her nose the tears they started streamin'.
But next day, as oft' children will, she went to do her schoolin'
She reckoned she would teach them boys who were upon her foolin'

She ran home from school at days end, from ear to ear was smilin',
Another penny in her hand, her mother's nerves were trialin',
"I've earned another penny Mum", cried little darling Mary,
But the words her mother used you won't find in your dictionary.

"Young Mary!" screamed her mother (I'll leave out her nasty swearin')
"They paid you to climb up the tree to see the pants you're wearin'"
"But Mummy" said young Mary "I quite shrewdly earned my penny,
You see I tricked 'em this time Mum..... I wasn't wearin' any"
