Nursery Rhymes

Humpty Dumpty.​

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses and all the kings men

Couldn't put Humpty together again

Little Jack Horner

Sat in a corner,

Eating a Christmas pie;

He put in his thumb,

And pulled out a plum,

And said, 'What a good boy I am!'

Little Jack Horner.​

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.

Will you wake him?

No, not I,

For if I do,

He's sure to cry.

Little Boy Blue.​

Old McDonald Had A Farm.​

Old McDonald had a farm,

E-I-E-I-O!

And on that farm he had a cow

E-I-E-I-O!

With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there

Here a moo, there a moo,

Everywhere a moo-moo!

Old McDonald had a farm

E-I-E-I-O!

(and repeat but change the animal, like pig, oink oink or chicken cluck, cluck etc)

Little Bo-Peep hs lost her sheep,

And can't tell where to find them;

Leave them alone, and they'll come home,

And bring their tails behind them.

Little Bo-Peep​

Mary had a little lamb

It's fleece was white as snow;

And everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day,

Which was against the rule;

It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,

But still it lingered near,

And waited patiently about

Till Mary did appear.

'What makes the lamb love Mary so?'

The eager children cry;

'Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,'

The teacher did reply

Mary Had A Little Lamb​

Three blind mice, three blind mice,

See how they run, see how they run

They all run after the farmers wife

She cut off their tails with a carving knife

Did you ever see such a thing in your life

As three blind mice?

Three Blind Mice.​

Sing a song of sixpence,

A pocket full of rye;

Four and twenty blackbirds

Baked in  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 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.

Sing A Song Of Sixpence

Rock-a-bye, baby, on 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

Rock-A-Bye, Baby, On The Tree Top.​

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,

Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

If that mocking bird won't sing,

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass,

Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

If that looking glass gets broke,

Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat won't pull,

Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,

Papa's gonna to buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won't bark,

Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

Hush, Little Baby.​

HIncy Windy Spider

Climbed up the water spout.

Down came the rain

And washed poor Incy out.

Out came the sunshine

And dried up all the rain,

And Incy Wincy Spider

Climbed up the spout again.

Incy Wincy Spider.​

Hickory, dickory, dock,

The mouse ran up the clock,

The clock struck one,

The mouse ran down,

Hickory, dickory, dock.​

Hickory, Dickory, Dock.​

Here is the beehive,

But where are the bees?

Hiding away where nobody sees.

Here they come creeping

Out of their hive,

One and two and three, four, five.

Here Is The Beehive.​

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary.​

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row

Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush.​

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

On a cold a frosty morning.

This is the way we wash our clothes,

Wash our clothes, wash our clothes.

This is the way we wash our clothe,

On a cold a frosty morning.

HI 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!

I see blue skies,

I see blue skies,

Way up high,

Way up high;

Hurry up the sunshine,

Hurry up the sunshine;

We'll soon dry,

We'll soon dry!

I Hear Thunder.​

Thirty days hath September,

April, June and November;

February has twenty-eight alone,

All the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting leap-year - that's the time,

When February's days are twenty-nine.

Thirty Days Hath September.​

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

If you see a crocodile

Don't forget to scream.

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

Down, down, down, down,

Like a submarine!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat.​

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.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.​
