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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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