The Man In The Moon

The man in the moon
came down too soon,
And asked his way to Norwich.

He went by the south,
And burnt his mouth
With supping cold pease-porridge.

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.

Rock-A-Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye, baby, on a tree top.
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
When the bow breaks the cradle will fall.
Down will come baby, cradle and all.

Old Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To fetch her poor dog a bone;
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Itsy Bitsy spider,
Climbed up the water spout.

Down came the rain,
And washed the spider out.

Out came the sun,
And dried up all the rain.

So Itsy Bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

Was the dishes, wipe the dishes,
Ring the bell for tea.

Three good wishes, three good kisses,
I will give to thee.

Hey, Diddle, Diddle

Hey, diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat,

Pussy cat, pussy cat,
Where have you been?
I've been to London,
To visit the Queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat,
What did you there?
I frightened a little mouse,
Under a chair.

Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day.
Which was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry.
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The teacher did reply.

One, Two, Three, Four, Five

One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which Finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right

Little Jack Horner

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie;

And pull out a plum,
And said "What a good boy am I!"

Two Little Ducks

Two little ducks that I once knew,
Fat ducks, skinny ducks,
There were two.

With the feathers on his back,
He led the other with a quack, quack, quack.

Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Hickory, dickory, dock,

The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet,
Sat on her tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;

There came a big spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Goosey, Goosey, Gander

Goosey, goosey, gander,
Wither shall I wander?

Upstairs, downstairs,
In my lady's chamber.

There I met an old man
Who would not say his prayers.

I took him by the left leg
And threw him down the stairs.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

  

Two Little Dickie Birds

Two little dickie birds sitting on the wall.
One named Peter, one named Paul.

Fly away Peter, fly away Paul.
Come back Peter, come back Paul.

(One of my favourites, never fail to cheer up my baby boy.)

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill caome tumblig after.

As fast as he could caper,
To old Dame Dob, who patch his nob,
With vinegar and brown paper.

Chook, chook, chook, chook, chook,

And four of them are brown,

And two of them are speckled red,
The nicest in the town.

To Market

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.

To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.

The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them broth without any bread,
Then scolded them soundly and sent them to bed.

Another version...

Then whipped them soundly and sent them to bed.

Hear me shout,
"Tip me over and pour tea out!"

Stitch it up and stitch it down,
And I will give you half a crown.
