Greedy Nan

One of my favorite poems in a book of nursery rhymes that I read to Henley before naps and bedtime is:

"Come, let's to bed," says Sleepy Head.
"Wait a while," says Slow.
"Put on the pan," says Greedy Nan.  "We'll eat before we go."

I've seen a few other versions online, but I like this version best.  I wonder whether I like it best because it's the version I read every day or because the wording really is superior to that of the other versions.
