Lyrics:

I heard it said yesterday morning
Tal-la ring ting ring tether-ring-too
That a ship of lead swam o'er the ocean
Tal-la ring ting ring tether-ring-too
And a ship of cork sank to the bottom
Tal-la ring ting ring tether-ring-too
And that is one of the seven wonders
Tal-la ring ting ring tether-ring-too

I heard it said that the partridge
On the shore was playing stool-ball
And the balls were made of sand
And that is two of the seven wonders

The pruning hook out in the meadow
By itself it was reaping
And in a day it cut an acre
And that is three of the seven wonders

I heard it said there was a pig
And on his cart he was loading bracken
And the load he was making ready
And that is four of the seven wonders

I heard it said that in Llangollen
That the moon was teaching reading
And an excellent verse he gave there
And that is five of the seven wonders

I heard it said that on the rock
That the dove she kept a tavern
With its little cup to test the drink
And that is six of the seven wonders

I heard it said of the swallow on the sea
That he was making an iron horseshoe
With golden hammer and silver anvil
And that's the last of the seven wonders
