Go to Bed Late

Go to bed late,
Stay very small.

Go to bed early,
Grow very tall.

Golden Slumber

Golden Slumber kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep, pretty baby, so not cry,
And I will sing you a lullaby.
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

French Cradle Song

If my boy sleep quietly,
He shall see the busy bee,
When is has made its honey fine,
Dancing in the bright sunshine.

If my boy will slumber,
Angels without number
Will draw near, fair and bright,
For they only come at night.

Hogs in the Garden

Hogs in the garden, catch'em, Towser.
Cows in the cornfield, run, boys, run.
Cats in the cream pot, run, girls, run.
Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run.

See-Saw, Sacra Down

See-saw, sacra down,
Which is the way to Boston town?

One foot up, the other foot down,
That is the way to Boston town.

Leg Over Leg

Leg over leg,
As the dog went to Dover.

When he came to a stile,
Hop! he went over.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to fight a battle,
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoilt his nice new rattle.

Just then flew by a monstrous crow
As big as a tar barrel,
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

One Misty, Moisty Morning

One misty, moisty morning,
When cloudy was the weather,
I met with an old man
Clothed all in leather,
Clothed all in leather,
With cap under his chin.
"How do you?" and "How do you do?"
And "How do you do?" again.

Six Little Mice

Six little mice sat down to spin,
Pussy pased by, and she peeped in.

What are you doing, my little men?
"We're weaving shirt for the gentlement."

Cut I come in and cut off your threads?
"No, no, Mistress Pussy, you'd cut off our heads."

The Lion and the Unicorn

The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting for the crown.
The Lion beat the Unicorn
All around the town.

Some gave them white bread,
Some gave tem brown,
Some gave them plum cake,
And drummed them out of town.

Pop Goes the Weasel!

Up and down the City Road,
In and out the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel!

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop goes the weasel!

Two Cats of Kilkenny

There once were two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many.
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their mails,
And the tip of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren't any.

Four-Leaf Clover

One leaf for fame, one leaf for wealth,
One for a faithful lover,
And one leaf to bring glorious health,
Are all in a four-leaf clover.

The Sandman

The Sandman comes,
The Sandman comes.
He has such pretty snow-white sand,
And he is well known throughout the land.
The Sandman comes.

Sleep Little Child

Sleep little child, go to sleep,
Mother is here by thy bed.

Sleep little child, go to sleep,
Rest on the pillow thy head.

The world is silent and still,
The moon shines bright on the hill,
Then creeps past the window sill.

Sleep little child, go to sleep,
Oh sleep, go to sleep.

I See the Moon

I see the moon,
And the moon see me.

God bless the moon,
And God bless me.

Boys and Girls, Come Out to Play

Boys and girls, come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day!

Leave your supper and leave your sleep,
And meet your playfellows in the street.

Come with a whoop and come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.

Up the ladder and down the wall,
A half penny loaf will serve us all.

You find milk, and I'll find flour,
And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little pigger, had roast beef,
And this little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried
"Wee-wee-wee-wee-wee"
All the way home.

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three man in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
Turn them out, knaves all three.

One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

One, two,
Buckle my shoe.

Three, four,
Knock at the door.

Five, six,
Pick up sticks.

Seven, eight,
Lay them straight.

Nine, ten,
A good fat hen.

Eleven, Twelve,
Dig and dwelve.

Thirteen, fourteen,
Maids a-courting.

Fifteen, sixteen,
Maids in the kitchen.

Seventeen, eighteen,
Maids a-waiting.

Nineteen, twenty,
My plate's empty.

Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice, three blind mice.
See how they run, see how they run!

They all run after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice.

Lavender's Blue

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly,
Lavender's green.

When I am king, dily, dilly,
You shall be queen.

It's Raining, It's Pouring

It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man is snoring.

He went to bed and bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.

Five Little Monkeys

Five little monkeys walked along the shore;
One went sailing, then there were four.

Four little monkeys climbed up a tree;
One of them fell down, then there were three.

Three little monkeys found a pot of glue;
One got stuck in it, then there were two.

Two little monkeys found a raisin bun;
One ran away with it, then there was one.

One little monkey cried all afternoon,
So they put him in an aeroplane
and send him to the moon.

Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair.

Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."

Pat-a-Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it, and prick it, and mark it with a "B"
And put it in the oven for Baby and me!

Quiet The Night

Quiet the night,
Soft is the breeze.
Dim is the light,
Of the faraway moon.

Sleep, children, sleep,
Be not alarmed,
Angels on guard
Will keep you unharmed.

How Many Days?

How many days has my baby to play?
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
Hop away, skip away,
My baby wants to play,
My baby wants to play everyday!
