Polly put the kettle on — the full words of the rhyme, and the trick the children play on the visitors at the end.

Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, We'll all have tea.

Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, We'll all have tea.

Sukey take it off again, Sukey take it off again, Sukey take it off again, They've all gone away.

Sukey take it off again, Sukey take it off again, Sukey take it off again, They've all gone away.
