A wise old owl sat in an oak
The more he heard, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?
Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full
One for the master
One for the dame
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
There was a farmer had a dog
And Bingo was his Name-O
B-I-N-G-O
B-I-N-G-O
B-I-N-G-O
AND BINGO WAS HIS Name-O
Hickory Dickory Dock. The mouse went up the clock.
The clock struck one. The mouse ran down.
Hickory Dickory dock.
Old MacDonald had a Farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on that farm he had a cow
E-I-E-I-O
With a Moo Moo here
And a Moo Moo there
Here a Moo, There a Moo
Everywhere a Moo Moo
Old MacDonald had a Farm
E-I-E-I-O
Once I saw a little bird
Go hop, hop, hop
So I said, ‘Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?’
Then I was going to the window
To say ‘How do you do?’
But he shook his little tail,
And away he flew!
Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rules;
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.
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?
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them!
Leave them alone
And they will come home,
Wagging their tails behind them!
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
The sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn.
But where is the boy, who looks after the sheep?
He’s under a haystack, he’s fast asleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I,
For if I do, he’s sure to cry.
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! No! I mean I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even I have got it right)
I went to the Animal Fair,
The birds and beasts were there;
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey fell out of his bunk
And slid down the elephant’s trunk,
The elephant sneezed – Achoo!
And fell on his knees
And what becomes of the monkey, monkey, monk?
Where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long,
Oh where, oh where can he be?
Incy Wincy Spider
Climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sunshine,
And dried up all the rain.
So the Incy Wincy Spider
Climbed up the spout again.
