There was a man, he went mad.

He jumped into a paper bag.

 

The paper bag was too narrow,

He jumped into a wheelbarrow.

 

The wheelbarrow took on fire,

He jumped into a cow byre.

 

The cow byre was too nasty,

He jumped into an apple pasty.

 

The apple pasty was too sweet,

He jumped into Cheter-le-Street.

 

Chester-le-Street was full of stones,

He fell down and broke his bones.
