| The woolly headed Black a moor | B |
| One nice fine summer's day went out | C |
| To see the shops and walk about | C |
| And as he found it hot poor fellow | D |
| He took with him his green umbrella | E |
| Then Edward little noisy wag | F |
| Ran out and laughed and waved his flag | F |
| And William came in jacket trim | G |
| And brought his wooden hoop with him | G |
| And Arthur too snatched up his toys | H |
| And joined the other naughty boys | H |
| So one and all set up a roar | A |
| And laughed and hooted more and more | A |
| And kept on singing only think | I |
| Oh Blacky you're as black as ink | I |

| And they may scream and kick and call | Q |
| Into the ink he dips them all | Q |
| Into the inkstand one two three | R |
| Till they are black as black can be | R |
| Turn over now and you shall see | R |
| - | |
| See there they are and there they run | S |
| The Black a moor enjoys the fun | S |
| They have been made as black as crows | T |
| Quite black all over eyes and nose | T |
| And legs and arms and heads and toes | T |
| And trousers pinafores and toys | H |
| The silly little inky boys | H |
| Because they set up such a roar | A |
| And teased the harmless Black a moor | B |
