The man in the moon, came down too soon
And asked his way to Norwich
He went to the south, and burnt his mouth
With eating cold plum porridge

Oh Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go

He followed her to school one day
That was against the rule
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school

What makes the lamb love Mary so?
The eager children cry
Oh Mary loves the lamb you know
The teacher did reply

And you each gentle animal
In confidence may bind
And make them follow at your call
If you are always kind

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row

There was an old man called Michael Finnegan
He grew whiskers on his chin again
The wind came up and blew them in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan begin again

There was an old man called Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pin again
He caught a fish then dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan begin again

There was an old man called Michael Finnegan
He grew fat then he grew thin again
Then he died and had to begin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan begin again

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick
So she phoned for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick
The doctor came with his bag and his hat
And he knocked at the door with a rat-a-tat-tat

He looked at the dolly and he shook his head
Then he said Miss Polly put her straight to bed
He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill
I’ll be back in the morning for my bill, bill, bill

Mix a pancake
Stir a pancake

Mister Frog jumped out of the pond one day
And found himself in the rain
Said he, ‘I’ll get wet and I might catch a cold’
A.. A.. Aitchooo!
And he jumped into the pond again

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my Bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
Can you or I or anyone know, how
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow

Waiting for a partner
Waiting for a partner
Open the ring, and choose one in
While we all gaily dance and sing

Then the farmer sows his seed
Then he stands and takes his ease
Stamps his foot and claps his hands
And turns around to view the land

Waiting for a partner
Waiting for a partner
Open the ring, and choose one in
While we all gaily dance and sing

Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
Can you or I or anyone know, how
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow

Oh dear what can the matter be?
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Johnny’s so long at the fair

He promised to by me a bunch of blue ribbons
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie brown hair

He promised he’d bring me a basket of poses
A garland of lilies, a garland of roses
A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons
That tie up my bonnie brown hair

In a shower of rain
He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle
And never went there again!

Oh what a silly song, oh what a silly song
Oh what a silly song, sing another do

Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgy ran away

Eating his Christmas pie
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum
And said, “What a good boy am I?”

The Grand Old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again

His wife could eat no lean
And so between the two of them
They licked the platter clean

He couldn’t find it anywhere the poor old chap
He walked down the high street and everybody said
‘Silly John Muddlecombe, you’ve got it on your head!’

And he called for his fiddlers three

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

And so the poor dog had none

When cloudy was the weather

Clothed all in leather
He began to compliment
And I began to grin

And how do you do again?

Oranges and lemons say the bells of Saint Clements
You owe me five farthings say the bells of Saint Martins
When will you pay me say the bells at Old Bailey?
When I grow rich say the bells at Shoreditch
When will that be say the bells at Stepney?

Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop of your head
