My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky;

Its time to take the window to see Leerie going by;

For every night at tea time and before you take your seat,

With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.

Now Tom would be a driver and Maria may go to the sea;

And my papa's a banker and as rich as he can be

But I, when I'm stronger and choose what I'm to do

O Leerie, I'll go around at night and light the lamps with you

For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door;

And Leerie stops to light it as he lights so many more:

And O! Before you hurry by with ladder and with light,

O Leerie, see a little child and nod to him tonight!
