Hatty and Tatty and the Bumping Boats
Tatty Rat liked Hatty Rat.
He said, "I'll ask Hatty to marry me."
So off he went.
He went up the waves and down the waves, and up the waves and down the waves, all the way to Hatty's house.
He knocked on Hatty's door.
Knock, knock, knock!
But Hatty wasn't at home.
Poor Tatty Rat!
He had to go all the way back to his house.
Hatty Rat liked Tatty Rat.
She said, "I'll ask Tatty to marry me."
So off she went.
She went up the waves and down the waves, and up the waves and down the waves, all the way to Tatty's house.
She rang the doorbell.
Ring, ring, ring!
But Tatty wasn't at home.
Poor Hatty Rat!
She had to go all the way back to her house.
Tatty Rat said, "I want to see Hatty. I'll go to her house again."
Hatty Rat said, "I want to see Tatty. I'll go to his house again."
Off went Tatty Rat.
He went up the waves and down the waves.
Off went Hatty Rat.
She went up the waves and down the waves.
They met in the middle.
BUMPITY-BUMP!
"Oh, Hatty!" cried Tatty Rat.
"Oh, Tatty!" cried Hatty Rat.
They hugged so much that their hats fell off and their whiskers got tangled.
Soon Hatty and Tatty got married.
Then off they went in a boat made for two.
