Children's book from the 70's
I'm trying to find a book I loved as a child. It was a long silly rhyme about a girl who falls from one thing to another. Some of the text goes something like:
The fire was so hot she flew into a pot. The ? was so hard she fell into some lard.
If anyone has knowledge of this very silly book,
Thanks so much,
Ellen

Old Molly Rier
Jumped in the fire.
The fire was so hot
She jumped in the pot.
The pot was so black
She jumped in a crack.
The crack was so high
She jumped in the sky.
The sky was so blue
She jumped in the flue.
The flue was so deep
She jumped in the creek.
The creek was so shallow
She jumped in the tallow.
The tallow was so cold
She jumped on a pole.
The pole was so round
She jumped on the ground.
The ground was white
And there she spent the night.
