Sally go round the sun
Sally go round the moon
Sally go round the chimney-pot
On a Saturday afternoon
She sells sea-shells on the sea shore
The shells that she sells are sea-shells for sure
So if she sells sea-shells on the sea shore
I’m sure that the shells are sea-shore shells
(tongue twister)

Lyrics from a kidsmusic version of the song
Published by CYP Music
Shoe a little horse
Shoe a little mare
But let the little colt
Go bare, bare, bare
(baby play spoken rhyme)
Shoo fly, don’t bother me
Shoo fly, don’t bother me
Shoo fly, don’t bother me
For I belong to somebody
I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star
I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star
Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the pie man let me taste your ware
Said the pie man unto Simple Simon,
‘Show me first your penny’
Said Simple Simon to the pie man, ‘Sir I haven’t any’
Simple Simon went a-fishing for to catch a whale
But all the water he had got was in his mother’s pail
Simple Simon went to look if plums grew on a thistle
He pricked his finger in the leaves which made poor Simon whistle
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie
When the pie was open, the birds began to sing
Wasn’t it a dainty dish to set before a 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 her clothes
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose
Six little mice sat down to spin
Pussy passed by and she peeped in
What are you doing, my little men?
Weaving coats for gentlemen
Shall I come in and cut off your threads?
Oh, no, Mistress Pussy, you’d bite off our heads
No, no, I’ll not, I’ll help you spin
That may be so, but you can’t come in
(chorus)
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’
Lost my partner, what shall I do?
Lost my partner, what shall I do?
Lost my partner, what shall I do?
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’
(chorus)
I’ll find another one, better than you
I’ll find another one, better than you
I’ll find another one, better than you
Skip to my Lou, my darlin’
(chorus)
Skipping, skipping, skipping up and down
Skipping, skipping, skipping,
skipping all around the town
Marching, marching, marching up and down
Marching, marching, marching,
marching all around the town
Jumping, jumping, jumping up and down
Jumping, jumping, jumping,
jumping all around the town
Hopping, hopping, hopping up and down
Hopping, hopping, hopping,
hopping all around the town

Oh, the bear went over the mountain

To see what he could see
But the other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see!

Oh 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
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down
Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
They played their pipes to the top of the hilll
And they played them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down
Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
They banged their drums to the top of the hill
And they banged them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down
The north wind doth blow
And we shall have snow
And what will poor robin do then?
Poor thing
He’ll sit in a barn
And keep himself warm
And hide his head under his wing
Poor thing
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts
All on a summer’s day
The Knave of Hearts
He stole the tarts
And took them clean away
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 day long
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep
All day long
The windscreen wipers go swish swish swish
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish
The windscreen wipers go swish swish swish
All day long
The people on the bus bounce up and down
Up and down, up and down
The people on the bus bounce up and down
All day long
The daddies on the bus go nod nod nod
Nod nod nod, nod nod nod
The daddies on the bus go nod nod nod
All day long
The mummies on the bus go chatter chatter chatter
Chatter chatter chatter, chatter chatter chatter
The mummies on the bus go chatter chatter chatter
All day long
There was a crooked man,
who walked a crooked mile
And found a crooked sixpence,
upon a crooked style
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together,
in a little crooked house
There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Seventeen times as high as the moon
And where she was going, I couldn’t but ask it
For in her hand she carried a broom
Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I
O whither, O whither, O whither so high?
To sweep the cobwebs off the sky
Shall I go with you? Aye, by-and-by
This is the way the ladies ride
Nimble-nim, nimble-nim
This is the way the gentlemen ride
Gallop-a-trot, gallop-a-trot
This is the way the farmers ride
Jiggledy-jog, jiggledy-jog
This little pig went to market
This little pig stayed at home
This little pig had roast beef
This little pig had none
And this little pig cried wee, wee, wee
All the way home
(baby play rhyme)
This old man he played one,
he played nick nack on my drum
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played two,
he played nick nack on my shoe
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played three,
he played nick nack on my knee
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played four,
he played nick nack on my floor
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played five,
he played nick nack on my hive
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played six,
he played nick nack on my sticks
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played seven,
he played nick nack up in heaven
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played eight,
he played nick nack at my gate
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played nine,
he played nick nack on my spine
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man he played ten,
he played nick nack once again
With a nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
Three blind mice, three blind mice
See how they run, see how they run
They all ran after the farmer’s wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice
Three little ghostesses
Sitting on postesses
Eating buttered toastesses
Greasing their fistesses
Up to the wristesses
Oh, what beastesses
To make such feastesses
Three little kittens
They lost their mittens
And they began to cry
Oh, mother dear
We sadly fear
Our mittens we have lost
What! Lost you mittens
You naughty kittens
Then you shall have no pie
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow
No, you shall have no pie
To market, to market
To buy a fat pig
Home again, home again
Jiggety-jig
To market, to market
To buy a fat hog
Home again, home again
Jiggety-jog

A milking pail, a milking pail

The cow itself, the cow itself
Last you need the cow itself
For to milk a cow
Now I’m set to milk a cow
To milk a cow, to milk a cow
Now I’m set to milk a cow
I shall do it now
Could you milk, the cow for me
The cow for me, the cow for me?
Could you milk, the cow for me?
For I can’t do it now
Yes, I’ll milk the cow for you
The cow for you, the cow for you
Yes, I’ll milk the cow for you
But please don’t ask me how, again!
A kidsmusic original song
Written, arranged and produced by S A Jones
Published by CYP Music
Tom, he was a piper’s son
He learnt to play when he was young
And all the tune that he could play
Was over the hills and far away
Bow, wow, wow
Whose dog art thou?
Little Tom Tinker’s dog
Bow, wow, wow
Tom, Tom, the piper’s son
Stole a pig and away he ran
The pig was eat and Tom was beat
And Tom went howling down the street
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
When the blazing sun has gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Two little dickie birds, sitting on a wall
One named Peter, one named Paul
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul
Come back Peter, come back Paul
