Today's Word "guttle" reminded me of a nursery rhyme, which ends"
Put on the pot says Greedy Gut, We'll sup before we go"

My problem is I can't remember the beginning. Can you?

Let's to bed says Sleepyhead,
Tarry a while says Slow.
Put on the pan says greedy Nan,
We'll sup before we go.

Thanks dxb. It was really bugging me.
To bed, to bed says Sleepy Head
Let's stay a while says Slow
Put on ;the pot says Greedy Gut
We'll sup before we go.

Those rhymes got retold so many times that variations crept in.
