Three Little Mice

Three little mice crept out to see
What they could find to have for tea,
(For they were dainty, saucy mice,
And liked to nibble something nice),
But Pussy's eyes so big and bright
Soon sent them scampering off in a fright.

There Was an Old Woman

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread.
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

Solomon Grundy

Solomon Grundy-
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Sick on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end of Solomon Grundy!

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

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.

I'm a little Teapot

I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up then I shout
Tip me over and pour me out.

Pat a cake

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 a B
and put it in the oven for baby and me.

wee willie winkie

wee willie winkie
runs through the town
upstairs and downstairs
in his nightgown
rapping at the windows
crying at the locks
are the children all in bed
now its 8 o'clock

3 tom cats

Not last night but the night before
3 tom cats came knocking at the door
I opened the door
and I let them in
they knocked me down with a rolling pin
one had a bugle, one had a drum
and one had a pancake stuck to his bum!

Little Jack

He wore a pair of tattered pants
A ragged roustabout
And through the torn crown of his cap
A lock of hair stuck out
His home was in a friendless street
His name was Little Jack

One day a bouncing baby boy
With head of curly hair
Escaped his mothers loving arms
Who, tired with other cares
Forgot her little baby one
Who crept upon the railway track
To play with the bright pebbles there

But see! Around the bend there comes
A swiftly flying train
It rattles and it whistles and it shreiks with might and main
But who's this little figure?
Running down the track...
His hat is gone
His feet are bare
Its ragged Little Jack

He picked the child up in his arms
And from the tracks the babe was safely tossed
But a slip, and a cry, the train rolled by
Poor Little Jack is gone

They found his mangled body there
Just where he slipped and fell
And brave men wept
Who'd never cared for him, when he was well
If there be starry crowns in Heaven
For little ones to wear
The star on Little Jacks would be
The brightest of any there.

The Wise Man built his house upon the rock

The Wise Man built his house upon the rock
The Wise Man built his house upon the rock
The Wise Man built his house upon the rock
And the rain came tumbling down.

The rain came down and the floods came up
The rain came down and the floods came up
The rain came down and the floods came up
And the house upon the rock stood firm.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
And the rain came tumbling down.

The rain came down and the floods came up
The rain came down and the floods came up
The rain came down and the floods came up
And the house upon the sand fell flat!

5 Cheeky Monkeys

Show the kid your or his/her hand with 5 fingers out, then put a finger down after each verse

5 cheeky monkeys jumpin on the bed
one fell off and bumped his head
Mumma called the dr and the dr said
"No more monkeys jumpin on the bed!!!"

The Hedgehog

What’s this round and prickly thing?
Can it be a pincushion?
No! Pincushions never grow
In the fields where daisies blow.

Oh! and now I see a nose
With four little tiny toes.
And as it opens in the sun
How those black beetles cut and run!

But see, it hears a barking dog
And rolls up safe, that poor hedgehog.

Over the hill and far away,

And only four little ducks came back.

Autumn is wheezy, sneezy, freezy;

Winter is slippy, drippy, nippy.

Fishy, fishy in the brook
Fishy, fishy in the brook,
Won't you bite my little hook?
My little hook
Fishy, fishy in the brook,
Daddy'll catch him on a hook!
Fish in frying pan
Mommy'll fry him in a pan,
Johnny'll eat him like a man.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

My dame has lost her shoe!
My master's lost his fiddling stick,
And knows not what to do.

She'll dance without her shoe.

Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken

Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken
Lay a little egg for me.


Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken,
I want one for my tea.
I haven't had an egg since Easter,
And now it's half past three.

So, chick, chick, chick, chicken,
Lay a little egg for me.
