On the first day of Nollick my true love gave to me
A Manx cat but there’s no tail to see
On the second day of Nollick my true love gave to me
Two kipper baps, and a Manx cat but there’s no tail to see
On the third day of Nollick my true love gave to me
Three Legs of Mann, Two kipper baps
and a Manx cat but there’s no tail to see
On the fourth day of Nollick my true love gave to me
Four Loughton lambs, Three legs of Man, Two kipper baps
and a Manx cat but there’s no tail to see

Five Celtic rings, Four Loughton lambs
Three legs of Man, Two kipper baps
and a Manx cat but there’s no tail to see

Six Tins of Manx Knobs, Five Celtic rings
Four Loughton lambs, Three legs of Man, Two kipper baps

On the seventh day of Nollick my true love gave to me
Seven Horse tram tickets, Six Tins of Manx Knobs

Seven Horse tram tickets, Six Tins of Manx Knobs,
Five Celtic rings, Four Loughton lambs,
Three legs of Man, Two kipper baps
and a Manx cat but there’s no tail to see
