A-Tisket, A-Tasket

A-tisket, a-tasket, a green and yellow basket.

I wrote a letter to my love

And on the way I dropped it.



Are You Sleeping?

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?

Brother John? Brother John?

Morning bells are ringing! Morning bells are ringing!

Ding! Ding! Dong! Ding! Ding! Dong!



Baa, Baa, Black Sheep


Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.

One for my master, one for my dame.

One for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.



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.



I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little teapot, short and stout.

Here is my handle, here is my spout.

When I get all steamed up hear me shout.

Tip me over and pour me out!



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.



London Bridge


London Bridge is falling down,

Falling down,Falling down.

London bridge is falling down,

My fair lady.



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.



Oh, Where, Oh, Where Has My Little Dog Gone?


Oh, where, oh, where has my little dog gone?

Oh, where, oh, where can he be?

With his tail cut short and his ears cut long,

Oh, where, oh, where can he be?



Pop! Goes the Weasel


All around the cobbler's bench the monkey chased the weasel.

The monkey thought t'was 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!



Rock-a-Bye Baby


Rock-a-bye, baby in the tree top.

When the wind blows the cradle will rock.

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,

Down will come baby cradle and all.



Row, Row, Row Your Boat


Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.



See-Saw, Margery Daw


See-saw, Margery Daw, Jack shall have a new master.

He shall have but a penny a day

Because he can't work any faster.



Shoo Fly


Shoo fly, don't bother me. Shoo fly, don't bother me.

Shoo fly, don't bother me. For I belong to somebody.



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 Ants Go Marching


The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.

The ants go marching one by one,

The little one stops to suck his thumb.

And they all go marching down,

To the ground, to get out, of the rain.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!



The Itsy Bitsy Spider


The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.

And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.



The Muffin Man


Do you know the muffin man,

the muffin man, the muffin man?

Do you know the muffin man

Who lives on Drury Lane?



The Mulberry Bush


Here we go round the mulberry bush,

The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

So early in the morning.



The Wheels on the Bus


The wheels on the bus go round and round,

Round and round, round and round.

The wheels on the bus go round and round,

All through the town.



This Old Man


This old man, he played one.

He played knick-knack on my thumb

With a knick-knack paddy whack give the dog a bone.

This old man came rolling home.



Three Blind Mice


Three blind mice! Three blind mice! See how they run! See how they run!

They all ran after the farmer's wife.

She chased them out with a carving knife.

Did you ever see such a sight in your life

As three blind mice? Three blind mice!



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.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star how I wonder what you are.



Yankee Doodle


Yankee Doodle went to town a-riding on a pony.

Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.

Yankee Doodle keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy.

Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy!
