I’ll tell you a story
About Jack a Nory
And now my story’s begun
I’ll tell you another
About Jack’s brother
And now my story’s done
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down a 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
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over
The candlestick
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so between them both you see
They licked the platter clean
Jelly on the plate
Jelly on the plate
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble
Jelly on the plate
(repeat – with lots of wibble and wobble, but don’t drop the jelly!)
Jerry Hall
He’s so small
A rat could eat him
Hat and all
There was a jolly miller once
Lived on the river Dee
He worked and sang from morn till night
No lark as blithe than he
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be
‘I care for nobody, no, not I
Since nobody care for me’

I’m the king of the castle
Get down you dirty rascal
Knock at the door
Pull the bell
Lift the latch
And walk in

Your house is on fire and your children all gone
All except one and that’s little Ann
And she’s crept under the warming pan
Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly
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 plough, 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
The leaves are green
The nuts are brown
They hang so high
They will not come down
Leave them alone
Till frosty weather
Then they will all
Come down together
Lillies are white
Rosemary is green
When I am king
You shall be queen
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them
Leave them alone and they’ll come home
Wagging their tails behind them
Little Boy Blue come blow on 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 a haystack fast asleep
Will you wake him? No not I
For if I do, he’s sure to cry
Little girl, little girl
Where have you been?
I’ve been to see grandmother
Over the green
What did see give you?
Milk in a can
What did you say for it
Thank you, grandma
Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner
Eating a Christmas pie
He put in his thumb
And pulled out a plum
And said,
“What a good boy am I”
Here am I, little jumping Joan
When nobody’s with me,
I’m always alone
Little maid, little maid
Whither goest thou?
Down the meadow
To milk my cow
(from a Mother Goose book, published by George Routledge & Sons, 1881)
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
Little Nancy Etticoat
In a white petticoat
And a red nose
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows
(Riddle – a candle)
Little Polly Flinders
Sat among the cinders
Warming her pretty little toes
Her mother came and caught her
And berated her little daughter
For spoiling her nice new clothes
Little Robin Redbreast
Came to visit me
This is what he whistled
Thank you for my tea
Little Tom Tittlemouse
Lived in a bell-house
The bell-house broke
And Tom Tittlemouse woke
London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down, my fair lady
How shall we build it up again, up again, up again?
How shall we build it up again, my fair lady?
Build it up with silver and gold,
silver and gold, silver and gold
Build it up with silver and gold, my fair lady
Silver and gold be stole away,
stole away, stole away
Silver and gold be stole away, my fair lady
Build it up with iron and steel,
iron and steel, iron and steel
Build it up with iron and steel, my fair lady
Iron and steel, will bend and bow,
bend and bow, bend and bow
Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady
Build it up with wood and clay,
wood and clay, wood and clay
Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady
Wood and clay will wash away,
wash away, wash away
Wood and clay will wash away, my fair lady
Build it up with stone so strong,
stone so strong, stone so strong
Build it up with stone so strong, my fair lady
Stone will last for ages long, ages long, ages long
Stone will last for ages long, my fair lady

London’s burning, London’s burning
Fetch the engines, fetch the engines
Fire fire, fire fire
Pour on water, pour on water
Lucy Lockett lost her pocket
Kitty Fisher found it
There was not a penny in it
But a ribbon round it
