61. The Little Boy David

There was a little boy David,
Down by the babbling brook,
There was a little boy David,
Five little stones he took.
One little stone went in the sling,
The sling went 'round and 'round.
One little stone went in the sling,
The sling went 'round and 'round.
'Round and around and around and around,
'Round and around and around
The little stone went up in the air,
And the Giant came tumbling down. Boom!
