Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker’s man
That I will master, as fast as I can
Pat it and prick it and mark it with a T
Put it in the oven for Tommy and me
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 B
Put it in the oven for baby and me
Pease porridge hot
Pease porridge cold
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper
A peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper
Where’s the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her
He put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well
Please to remember
The fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
For I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
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
Poor Jenny is a-weeping, a-weeping, a-weeping
Poor Jenny is a-weeping
On a fine summer’s day
Pray tell me what she’s weeping for,
weeping for, weeping for
Pray tell me what she’s weeping for
On a fine summer’s day
She’s weeping for her true love,
her true love, her true love
She’s weeping for her true love
On a fine summer’s day
Poor Jenny is a-weeping, a-weeping, a-weeping
Poor Jenny is a-weeping
On a fine summer’s day
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Up and down the city road
In and out of the Eagle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Pussy cat ate the dumplings
Pussy cat ate the dumplings
Mamma stood by
And cried, ‘Oh fie
Why did you eat the dumplings?’
Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?
I’ve been up to London, to visit the Queen
Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse, under a chair
Pussy sits beside the fire
So pretty and so fair
In walks the little dog
Ah, pussy, are you there?
How do you do, Mistress Pussy?
I thank you very kindly, little dog
I’m very well just now
Put your finger on your nose, on your nose
Put your finger on your nose, on your nose
Put your finger on your nose
That’s where the cold wind blows
Put your finger on your nose, on your nose.
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear
Put your finger on your ear
And leave it there a year
Put your finger on your ear, on your ear.
Put your finger on your knee, on your knee
Put your finger on your knee, on your knee
Put your finger on your knee
We’re as happy as can be
Put your finger on your knee, on your knee.
Put your fingers all together, all together
Put your fingers all together, all together
Put your fingers all together
And pray for better weather
Put your fingers all together, all together

Down by the river in the reeds
One little duck, quack, quack, at me
Quack, quack, quack, so happily
For all to see
Down by the river in the reeds
Two little ducks, quack, quack, at me
Quack, quack, quack, so happily
For all to see
Down by the river in the reeds
Three little ducks, quack, quack, at me
Quack, quack, quack, so happily
For all to see
Down by the river in the reeds
Four little ducks, quack, quack, at me
Quack, quack, quack, so happily
For all to see
Down by the river in the reeds
Five little ducks, quack, quack, at me
Quack, quack, quack, so happily
For all to see

Come again another day
It’s raining, it’s pouring
The old man’s snoring
He got into bed
And bumped his head
And couldn’t get up in the morning
Red sky at night
Shepherd’s delight
Red sky in the morning
Shepherd’s warning
Red stockings, blue stockings
Shoes tied up with silver
A red rosette upon my breast
And a gold ring on my finger
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes
Ring a ring a roses
A pocket full of posies
Atishoo, atishoo
We all fall down
Ring the bell
Knock at the door
Peep in
Lift the latch
Walk in
(baby play rhyme – features of the face)
Let’s roar, like a dinosaur
Stamp your feet, to the dinosaur beat
Clap your hands and pretend to run
Let’s roar like a dinosaur and have some fun
Millions of years ago, when all life began
Funny creatures lived on earth, earlier than man
No giraffes or kangaroos, cars or aeroplanes
Imagine what it sounded like, so scary and so strange
Let’s roar, like a dinosaur
Stamp your feet, to the dinosaur beat
Clap your hands and pretend to run
Let’s roar like a dinosaur and have some fun

Rock a bye baby on the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
Down will come baby cradle and all
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you
Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear
One step, two step
And a tickly under there
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
Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub
And how do you think they got there?
The butcher, the baker
The candlestick-maker
They all jumped out of a rotten potato
‘Twas enough to make a man stare
Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker
The candlestick-maker
Turn ‘em out, knaves all three
Round and round the rugged rock
The ragged rascal ran
How may R’s are there in that?
Now tell me if you can
