Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When I see a teacup, here me shout,

In a shower of rain;

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 came tumbling after.

As fast as he could caper;
He went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

Little Bo-Peep

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn’t know where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.

And dreamed she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Sat in a corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said “What a good boy am I”.

Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow:

And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
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,
That was against the rule;

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.

How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

He had whiskers on his chinnegan,
Along came the wind and blew them in again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan. Begin again!

And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat

Pussy Cat, pussy cat,

To look at the queen.

Under her chair.

Ring-a-ring o’ roses,

Eating buttercups,
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all jump up.

And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,

Sing A Song Of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing,
Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in the counting-house, counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey;
The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose.

There Was A Crooked Man

There was a crooked man,
And he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
Against a crooked stile;

Which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together
In a little crooked house.

This little pig stayed home,
This little pig had roast beef,

And this little pig cried, Wee-wee-wee
All the way home.

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.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
When you shower your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
