[Note:—Two children are selected from the ring to represent the blacksmith, two others as horse and rider. One blacksmith, takes his place at an imaginary forge; the others, at the anvil which may be repre­sented by a stick of wood, an old chair or a stool. The "rider "and "horse" are in a distant part of the room. When the singing begins, the man at the forge pumps the bellows with his right hand, while, with his left he holds a rod in the fire. At the second stanza, he lays the rod on the anvil, and the rhythmical hammering begins. At the third stanza, " Dobbin " is led in and shod as the stanza suggests.]

0 naught-y, naught-y, Mis- ter Moth, To eat a hole in this nice cloth. And when you've worn your coats all day; They should be brushed and put a - way.
[Note:—A few children are appointed to play customers, the remainder form a ring of tailors, sitting on the floor ready for work. The customers carrying their jackets or some other articles of clothing on their arms, sing the first half of the first stanza alone, at the same time walking up and down the ring, and at last stopping before one of the tailors. The tailors then take up the stanza, and sing to the end of the song, ac­companying the music with suitable rhythmic motions of sewing, brushing, etc.]
