With a pair of

That the baker may take it,
And into rolls make it,
And

In a shower of rain,
He stepped in a puddle,
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again.

THE ROBIN
The
north wind doth blow,
And we shall have

And what will poor robin do then,
Poor thing ?

And keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing,
Poor thing!

OLD KING COLE
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a

He called for

And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three!

THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN
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 some broth without any bread.
She whipped them all soundly and put
them to
bed.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush,
The

Here we go round the
mulberry bush
On a cold and frosty
morning.
This is the way we wash our
hands,
Wash our hands,
Wash
our hands.
This is the way we wash our
hands
On a cold and frosty morning.
This is the way we wash our face,
Wash our face,
Wash our

This is the way we wash our face
On a cold and frosty morning.
This is the way we comb our hair,
Comb our hair,
Comb our
hair.
This is the way we comb our hair,
On a cold and frosty morning.

To

GANDER
Goosey, goosey, gander,
Whither dost thou wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And
in my lady’s chamber.
There I met an old man
Who
wouldn’t say his prayers;
I
took him by the left leg,
And threw him
down the stairs.

Half enough to fill a pillow.

And down to make a bed for you.

One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

Why

Because it bit my

Which finger did it bite?
The little one upon the right.

Mary had a
little lamb,
little lamb, little
lamb,
Mary had a little
lamb,
whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
and
everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was
sure to go.
It followed her
to school one day
school one day,
school one day,
It followed her to
school one day,
which was against the
rules.
It made the children laugh and
play,
laugh and play, laugh
and play,
it made the children laugh
and play
to see a lamb at school.

Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
22
OLD MOTHER HUBBARD
Old
Mother Hubbard;
Went to the cupboard,
To give her poor dog a bone;
But when she got there
The
cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog
had none.
23
Oh where, oh where has my little dog
gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short, and his tail
cut long,
Oh where, oh where is he?
24
Hark, hark! the dogs do bark!
The beggars are coming to town:
Some in rags, and some in jags,
And some in velvet gowns.
.........................
25
Girls and
boys, come out to play,
The moon doth
shine as bright as day;
Leave your
supper, and leave your sleep,
And come
with your playfellows into the street.
Come with a whoop, come with a
call,
Come with a good will
or not at all.
Up the ladder
and down the wall,
A
halfpenny roll will serve us all.
Y
ou find milk, and I'll find
flour,
And we'll have a pudding in half
an hour

WEE WILLIE WINKIE
Wee Willie
Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs
and downstairs in his night gown;
Tapping at the windows, crying at the
lock,
27
I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea.
And,
oh, but it was laden
With pretty things
for thee.
There were
comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the
hold;
The sails were made of silk
And the masts were all of gold.
The four-and-twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four-and-twenty white mice
With chains about their necks.
The captain was a duck
With a packet on his back,
The captain said,
28
It's raining;
it's pouring.
The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and bumped his head,
And he couldn't get up in the morning.
29
The itsy bitsy spider climed up the
water spout.
Down came the rain, and
washed the spider out.
Up came the sun,
and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy
bitsy spider went up the spout again.
30
Three blind mice!
See how they run!
They all ran 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?
31
PUSSY
-CA
T AND
QUEEN
“Pussy
-cat, pussy-cat,
Where have you been?”
“I’ve been to London
To look at the Queen.”
“Pussy
-cat,
pussy-cat,
What did you
there?”
I frightened a
little mouse
Under the
chair.”
32
Ride a cock-horse to
Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon
a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes,
And she shall have
music wherever she goes.
33
Cock a doodle do!
My dame has lost her shoe,
My master's lost his fiddlestick,
And knows not what to do.
34
POLLY
AND SUKEY
Polly, put the kettle on,
Polly, put the kettle on,
Polly, put the kettle on,
And let’s drink tea.
Sukey, take it off again,
Sukey, take it off again,
Sukey, take it off again,
They’re all gone away.
35
Little Tom Tucker
Sings for
his supper.
What shall we give him?
White bread and butter.
How
shall he cut it
Without a knife?
How will he be married
Without a wife?[1]
36
Oranges and
lemons,
Say the bells of St. Clement's
Y
ou owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin's
When will you pay me?
Say
the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the
bells of Shoreditch.
When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney
I
do not know,
Says the great bell of Bow
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
And here comes a chopper to chop off
your head!
37
See Saw Margery Daw,
Jacky
shall have a new master;
He shall earn
but a penny a day,
Because he can't
work any faster.
38
Georgie
Porgie,
pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made
them cry; When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.
39
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got and
home did trot
As fast as he could
caper;
And went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper.
............................
40
Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear.
One step,
two step,
Tickle you under there.
41
Here Am I, Little Jumping Joan
Here am I, little jumping Joan,
When nobody's with me,
I'm
always alone.
42
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump
over
The candlestick.
43
Dickery,
dickery, dare,
The pig flew up in the
air.
The man in brown
Soon
brought him down!
Dickery, dickery,
dare.
44
Hush-a-bye, baby,
in the
tree top.
When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.
When
the bough breaks,
the cradle will
fall,
And down will come
baby,
cradle and all.
