[00:00:01] The Dreadful Story about Harriet and the Matches - The Tiger Lillies

[00:00:30] Well it almost makes me cry to tell

[00:00:34] What foolish Harriet does befell

[00:00:40] Mama and nurse went out one day

[00:00:44] And left her all alone to play

[00:00:48] Well on the table close at hand

[00:00:53] A box of matches chanced to stand

[00:00:58] Well mama and nurse had told her

[00:01:02] That if she touched them they would scold her

[00:01:07] Well Harriet said what a pity

[00:01:12] ‘Cos when they burn they seem so pretty

[00:01:16] They crackle so they spit and flame

[00:01:21] Mama and papa do often do the same

[00:01:25] So she wouldn't take their advice

[00:01:30] She lit a match it was so nice

[00:01:35] It crackled so it burnt so clear

[00:01:39] Exactly like the picture here

[00:01:43] So she jumped for joy and she ran about

[00:01:48] And was too pleased to put it out

[00:01:52] Well the pussy cats they saw this

[00:01:56] They said naughty naughty naughty Miss

[00:02:01] Oh miaow miaoh miaow miaoh

[00:02:05] She's burning to death we told her so

[00:02:10] Well see what a dreadful dreadful thing

[00:02:14] The fire has caught her apron string

[00:02:19] She burns all over everywhere

[00:02:23] She burns her nose and her arms and her hair

[00:02:28] ‘Til she's got nothing left to lose

[00:02:32] Except her little scarlet shoes

[00:02:37] And only these only these are found

[00:02:41] Amongst her ashes on the ground

[00:02:46] Oh miaow miaoh miaow miaoh

[00:02:50] She's burnt to death we told her so

[00:02:54] Oh miaow miaoh miaow miaoh

[00:02:59] She's burnt to death we told her so

[00:03:09] The pussy cats they sat beside

[00:03:30] Her steaming ashes and they cried

[00:03:50] Oh miaow miaoh miaow miaoh

[00:03:54] She's burnt to death we told her so

[00:03:59] Oh miaow miaoh miaow miaoh

[00:04:03] She's burnt to death we told her so
