A tiny knock-and-refusal story told mostly through sound effects: thumpaty, frumpaty, stumpaty. Children tend to love repeating the nonsense words more than following the plot.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Young Roger came tapping at Dolly's window,
Thumpaty, thumpaty, thump!
He asked for admittance; she answered him "No!"
Frumpaty, frumpaty, frump!
"No, no, Roger, no! as you came you may go!"
Stumpaty, stumpaty, stump!
About this rhyme
Roger taps at Dolly's window asking for admittance and she refuses him. · Each verse ends with a distinct nonsense refrain word: thumpaty, frumpaty, and stumpaty.
This is a comic courting rhyme, and the fun is all in the sound. Roger knocks, Dolly turns him down flat, and each verse ends with a nonsense word: thumpaty, frumpaty, stumpaty. Say those last words with a real knock, a huff, and a stomp, and the rhyme turns into a tiny performance.
