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.

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,

4

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 in school.

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey.

There came a big spider,

Who sat down beside her.

And frightened Miss Muffet away!

5

Baa, Baa Black Sheep

Baa, baa black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir,

Three 3 bags full.

One 1 for my master.

One 1 for my dame.

But none 0 for the little boy,

Who cries in the lane.

Peter Piper

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

LITTLE JACK HORNER

Little Jack Horner,

Sat in a corner;

Eating a Christmas pie,

He stuck in his thumb, And pulled out a plum,

And said, "What a good boy am I."

LITTLE BOY BLUE

Little Boy Blue , come blow your horn ;

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the

corn.

Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?

He's under the haystack , fast asleep

7

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,

And can't tell where to find them.

Leave them alone,

and they'll come home,

Bringing their tails behind them.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market; This little piggy stayed home;

This little piggy had roast beef;

This little piggy had none; This little piggy said,

"Wee, wee, wee," all the way home.

8

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,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

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

9

In the dark blue sky you keep, And often thro' my curtains peep,

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.

'Tis your bright and tiny spark, Lights the trav'ller in the dark: Tho' I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Star Light, Star Bright

Star light , star bright,

First 1st star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have the wish I wish tonight.

10

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.

Then up Jack got, and home did trot,

as fast as he could caper.

They put him to bed, and plastered his head,

with vinegar and brown paper.

11

Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout,

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun that dried up all the rain,

And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

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.

12

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 jog,

To market , to market,

To buy a plum bun, Home again, home again,

Market is done

13

One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

One 1, two 2, buckle my shoe;

Three 3, four 4, shut the door;

Five 5, six 6, pick up sticks;

Seven 7, eight 8, lay them straight;

Nine 9, ten 10, a big, fat hen;

Eleven 11, twelve 12, dig and delve;

Thirteen 13, fourteen 14, maids a courting;

Fifteen 15, sixteen 16, Maids in the kitchen;

Seventeen 17, eighteen 18, maids awaiting;

Nineteen 19, twenty 20, my plate's empty.

Three Little Kitten s

Three little kittens, They lost their mittens,

And they began to cry, Oh mother dear, We sadly fear, That we have lost our mittens.

What! Lost your mittens, You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie. Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow,

No, you shall have no pie.

The three little kittens, They found their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother dear, See here, see here, We have found our mittens.

19

What! Found your mittens, You silly kittens!

Then you shall have some pie. Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,

Oh, let us have some pie.

The three little kittens, Put on their mittens, And soon ate up the pie; Oh, mother dear, We greatly fear, That we have soiled our mittens.

What! Soiled your mittens, You naughty kittens!

Then they began to sigh, Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

Then they began to sigh. The three little kittens, They washed their mittens, And hung them out to dry; Oh mother dear, Look here, look here, We have washed our mittens.

20

What! Washed your mittens , You're good little kittens .

But I smell a mouse close by! Hush! Hush! Hush!

I smell a mouse close by.

Down By the Bay

Down by the bay,

Where the watermelons grow, Back to my home, I dare not go, Cause if I do,

My mother will say,

"Did you ever see a bear?

Combing his hair?"

Down by the bay.

Where the watermelons grow, Back to my home,

Kissing a moose?"

With a polka dot tail?"

The Lady with the Alligator Purse

Miss Lucy had a baby, His name was Tiny Tim.

She put him in the bathtub, To see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water. He ate up all the soap.

He tried to eat the bathtub,

But it wouldn't go down his throat.

Miss Lucy called the doctor,

Miss Lucy called the nurse.

Miss Lucy called the lady

With the alligator purse.

26

"Mumps," said the doctor.

"Measles," sad the nurse.

"Hiccups," said the lady


Out went the doctor.

Out went the nurse.

Out went the lady

Old MacDonald Had A Farm

Old MacDonald had a farm,

Ee-i-ee-i-o,

And on his farm he had a duck,

Ee-i-ee-i-o,

With a quack-quack here,

And a quack-quack there,

Here a quack, there a quack ,

Everywhere a quack-quack,

Old MacDonald had a farm,

Ee-i-ee-i-o.

Start new verse with another animal

And on his farm he had a pig, …

With an oink-oink here,

With a moo-moo here, …

And on his farm he had a chick, …

With a cluck-cluck here, …

And on his farm he had a horse,

With a neigh-neigh here,

And on his farm he had a sheep,

With a baa-baa here,

And on his farm he had a dog,

With a woof-woof here,

And on his farm he had a cat,

With a meow-meow here,
