A Sailor Went To Sea, Sea, Sea


A sailor went to sea, sea, sea.
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see.
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

 

Pop goes the Weasel


All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop! goes the weasel
A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle
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

 

Dance to your daddie


Dance to your daddie,
My bonnie laddie,

Dance to your daddie, my bonnie lamb!

You shall get a fishie,
On a little dishie,
You shall get a herring when the boat comes hame!

Dance to your daddie,
My bonnie laddie,
Dance to your daddie, and to your mammie sing!

You shall get a cookie,
And a pair of breekies,
You shall get a coatie when the boat comes in

Three Currant Buns


Three currant buns in a baker's shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.

Two currant buns in a baker's shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.

One currant bun in a baker's shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought the currant bun and took it away.

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Hickory Dickory Dock


The mouse ran up the clock
Run your fingers up from your baby's toes to their chin and give them a tickle
The clock struck one
Clap your hands together once
The mouse ran down
Run your fingers back down to your baby's toes and tickle them
Hickory Dickory Dock

The clock struck two
Clap your hands together twice
The mouse went "boo!"
Hide your baby's eyes with your hands then pull them away on the word "boo!"

The clock struck three
Clap your hands together three times
The mouse went "weeee!"
Lift your baby up into the air on the word "weeee!"

The clock struck four
Clap your hands together four times
The mouse went "no more!"
Shake your finger on the words "no more!"

I Hear Thunder

I hear thunder, I hear thunder
Hark don't you, hark don't you
Pitter patter raindrops, pitter patter raindrops
I'm wet through, so are you!

 

Jack and Jill went up the hill


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,
He went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

 

Lavender's Blue


Lavender's blue,
Dilly diilly*,
Lavender's green,
When I am king,
Dilly dilly,
You shall be queen.

Call up your men,
Dilly dilly,
Set them to work,
Some to the plow,
Dilly dilly,
Some to the cart.

Some to make hay,
Dilly dilly,
Some to cut corn,
While you and I,
Dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm.

Lavender's green,
Dilly dilly,
Lavender's blue,
If you love me,
Dilly dilly,
I will love you.

*Some people sing "diddle, diddle" instead of "dilly, dilly".

 

 

Old King Cole


Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;

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

And every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he.
“Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.

Oh, there’s none so rare
As can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.

Pat a cake, Pat a cake

Pat a cake, Pat a cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and prick it and mark it with a 'B',
And put it in the oven for Baby and me,
For baby and me,
For baby and me,
Put it in the oven for Baby and me.

Polly put the kettle on

Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on,
We'll all have tea.
Sukey take it off again,
Sukey take it off again,
Sukey take it off again,
They've all gone away.

 

 

Rub-a-dub-dub


Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
All put out to sea.

Seesaw Margery Daw

Seesaw Margery Daw,
Johnny shall have a new master,
He shall earn but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster.

 

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,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his 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!

 

This Little Piggy

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

 

 

Wiggly Woo


There's a worm at the bottom of the garden
And his name is Wiggly Woo
There's a worm at the bottom of the garden
And all that he can do
Is wiggle all night
And wiggle all day
Whatever else the people do say
There's a worm at the bottom of the garden
And his name is Wiggly Woo.

Yankee Doodle Dandy

Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a pony.
He stuck a feather in his cap.
And called it macaroni.

Yankee Doodle, Fa, So, La.

Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Yankee Doodle, Fa, So, La.
Buttermilk and Brandy.

Yankee Doodle went to town,
To buy a pair of trousers.
He swore he could not see the town,
For so many houses.

Yankee Doodle, Fa, So, La.
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Yankee Doodle, Fa, So, La.
Buttermilk and Brandy.

 

Zip A Dee Doo Dah


Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay.
My, oh my what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine, plenty of rain.
Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay.

London's burning

London's burning, London's burning.
Fetch the engines, fetch the engines.
Fire fire, Fire Fire!
Pour on water, pour on water.

London's burning, London's burning.
Fetch the engines, fetch the engines.
Fire fire, Fire Fire!
Pour on water, pour on water.

London's burning, London's burning.
Fetch the engines, fetch the engines.
Fire fire, Fire Fire!
Pour on water, pour on water.
Pour on water, pour on water.
Pour on water, pour on water.
