Baby Dolly

Baby Dolly

Hush, baby, my dolly, I pray you don't cry,
And I'll give you some bread, and some milk by-and-by;

Or perhaps you like custard, or, maybe, a tart,
Then to either you're welcome, with all my heart.



A Big Fat Potato

A Big Fat Potato

A big, fat potato lay down on a clod
In the shade of some burdock and tall goldenrod,

And he dreamed he were king of the whole garden plot,
With a palace aand throne, and a crown with a lot

Of jewels and diamonds and gold till it shone
Like the front of a show when the lights are turned on.

He had to be minded by all of the plants;
When he whistled the radishes knew they must dance;

When he tooted his horn the cucumbers must sing
To a vegetable crowd gathered round in a ring.

He made all the cabbages stand in a row
While a sunflower instructed them just how to grow;

The bright yellow pumpkins he painted light blue;
Took the clothes off the scare-crow and made him buy new.

He strutted and sputtered and thought it was grand
To be king and commander o'er all the wide land.

But at last he woke up with an awful surprise
And found a blind mole kicking sand in his eyes.


Jack be Nimble

Jack be Nimble

Jack be Nimble
Jack, be nimble,

Jack, be quick,
Jack, jump over

The candlestick.
Jack jumped high

Jack jumped low
Jack jumped over
and burned his toe.



Do You Know The Muffin Man

Do You Know The Muffin Man

Do you know the Muffin Man,
The Muffin Man,
The Muffin Man?
Do you know the Muffin Man
Who lives in Drury Lane?

Yes, I know the Muffin Man,
The Muffin Man,
The Muffin Man.
Yes, I know the Muffin Man
Who lives in Drury Lane.



Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.




Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet

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




Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe.

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe.

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe.
Get it done by half - past two.

Stitch it up, and stitch it down,
Then I'll give you half a crown.



Pussy-cat, pussy-cat

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat

“Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,
Where have you been?”
“I Have been to London
To look at the Queen.”

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



Bits of paper

Bits of paper

Bits of paper,
Bits of paper,

Lying on the floor,
Lying on the floor,

Make the place untidy,
Make the place untidy,

Pick them up,
Pick them up.



Thank you, God

Thank you, God

Thank you, God, for the morning so bright,
And the golden sun, which gives us light,

For the stars, the moon and the sky,
Which makes our day and night go by.





This is father, kind and true

This is father kind and true

This is father, kind and true,
This is mother, who cares for you,

This is brother, so big and tall,
This is sister, who plays with her ball,

This is baby, wee and small,
This is family , look at them all.




Seven little fireman

Seven little fireman

Seven little fireman,
sleeping in a row,

Ding,dong goes the bell,
In a wink they go.

Off to an engine, ho, ho, ho!
Using the big pipe so, so, so!

When fire's out,
Home the go,
Back to bed,
All in row.





Baa! Baa! black ship

Baa! Baa! black ship

"Baa! Baa! black ship,
Have you any wool?"

"Yes, sir yes, sir!
Three bags full.

One for my master,
One for his dame,

And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane."



Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill,
To fetch pail of water.

Jack fell down
And broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.




Twinkle, twinkle, little star

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.
