这是一首游戏性质的儿歌,伴随着那种“传话出错”类的游戏:下一个人,要把前一个人所说的话全部复述出来,还要加上自己的一句。这样几个人、十几个人传下来,基本上最早说的话就完全变形了,并且越往后这个游戏的难度越大。
我们从歌词不难看到,的确到后面就越来越不容易了,实在是太长了。当然,歌曲的主体部分是不变的,这样其实是给游戏者、歌唱者提供了一个喘息和思考、记忆的机会。

to see what she could see.
But all that she could see
was ...
从这个内容来看,这首歌跟前面刚刚发过的《The Bear Went Over the Mountain 大熊过山岗》非常接近,都是要去看点什么,结果看到了什么。
