Ten Little Niggers

Ten little niggers went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little niggers sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little niggers traveling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little niggers chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little niggers playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little niggers going in for law;
One got into Chancery and then there were four.

Four little niggers going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little niggers walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two Little niggers sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little nigger left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.
