Monday's Child is Red and Spotty
Monday's child is red and spotty,
Tuesday's child won't use the potty.
Wednesday's child won't go to bed,
Thursday's child will not be fed.
Friday's child breaks all the toys,
Saturday's child makes an awful noise.
And the child that's born on the seventh day
Is a pain in the neck like the rest, OK!
By
Colin McNaughton
And of course the real words are
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is blithe and bonny and good and gay.
And another comic version
Monday's child chews kippered plaice,
Tuesday's child has an eggy face,
Wednesday's child is full of toast,
Thursday's child can eat the most.
Friday's child has the biggest tummy,
Saturday's child throws beans at his mummy.
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Has sunlight for breakfast, with buttered sea-spray
