Quite Contrary

When quite contrary crashed on Mary 
And the pan hit Peter's head 
They found Humpty Dumpty and the over the moon cow 
Lying in the courtyard dead 
And when Mary's tuffet was bit by a Muffet 
The Incy Wincy spider ran 
Mary ran too, in fact, she almost flew 
When she saw the spider on her little lamb
