I have three cousins over the sea,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
Three or four presents send they me,
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.

The first was a bird without a bone,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
The second was a cherry without a stone,
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.

The third was a book that no man's read,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
The fourth was a blanket without a thread,
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.

Can there be a bird without a bone?
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
Can there be a cherry without a stone?
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.

A bird in the egg's without a bone,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
A cherry in the bud's without a stone,
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.

Can there be a book that no man's read?
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
Can there be a blanket without a thread?
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.

A book in the press, that no man's read,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
A blanket in the wool's without a thread,
   Pantrum quartrum paridies stantrum,
   Piri-miri-dictum Domini.
