## Transcript

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Oh, wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

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

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed to see such fun

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Higglety pigglety pop

The dog has swallowed a mop

The pig's in a hurry

The cat's in a flurry

Higglety pigglety pop.

Incy Wincy spider climbing up the spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

So, Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again

Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

If that mockingbird don't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns to brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke, Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

Oh, 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?

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

And on that farm he had a horse, E-I-E-I-O.

With a “neigh, neigh” here,

And a “neigh, neigh” there.

Here a "neigh" there a "neigh"

Everywhere a “neigh, neigh”.

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

And an “oink, oink” there.

Here an "oink" there an "oink"

Everywhere an “oink, oink”.

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

This is the way that ladies ride

Trippety tee, trippety tee

Trippety, trippety tee

This is the way that gentlemen ride

Gallopy gallop, gallopy gallop

This is the way that gentlemen ride

Gallopy, gallopy gallop.

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.

Little Boy Blue come blow up your horn,

The sheep’s in the meadow the cow’s in the corn.

Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?

He’s under the haystack fast asleep.

Will you wake him? No, not I – for if I do, he'll surely cry.

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?

See saw Margery Daw,

Johnny shall have a new master,

He shall have but a penny a day,

Because he can't work any faster

Oh dear what can the matter be?

Dear dear what can the matter be?

Oh dear what can the matter be?

Johnny's so long at the fair.

Ladybird, ladybird fly away home

Your house is on fire, your children are gone

Fly away ladybird fly away home

Your house is on fire, your children are gone.

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly

Lavender's green

When I am king, dilly, dilly

You shall be queen.

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 can't we all be like that wise old bird?

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe

Get it done by half past two

Half past two is far too late

Get it done by half past eight.

Old woman, old woman, old woman quoth I

O whither, o whither, o whither so high?

To brush the cobwebs off the sky

Shall I go with thee, aye by and by?

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Agreed to have a battle;

For Tweedledum said Tweedledee

Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile,

And he found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile;

He bought a crooked cat and it caught a crooked mouse,

And they all lived together in a crooked little house.

Curly Locks, Curly Locks, wilt thou be mine?

Thou shall not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine,

But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,

And feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream.

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey

There came a big spider who sat down beside her

And frightened Miss Muffet away

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie,

Kissed the girls and made them cry,

When the boys came out to play

Georgie Porgie ran away, ran away

Ding, dong, bell,

Pussy’s in the well.

Who put her in?

Little Johnny Green.

Who pulled her out?

Little Tommy Stout.

What a naughty boy was that,

To drown poor pussy cat,

Who ne’er did any harm,

But killed all the mice in his father’s barn

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.

His wife could eat no lean.

And so between them both, you see,

They licked the platter clean

Here we go gathering nuts in May

Nuts in May, nuts in May

Here we go gathering nuts in May

On a cold and frosty morning

I love little pussy, her coat is so warm,

And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm;

So I'll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,

But pussy and I very gently will play.

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat

Please put a penny in the old man's hat?

If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do

If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you.

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,

Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,

Tapping at the window, crying through the lock,

Are all the children in their beds, it’s past eight o’clock?

Two little dicky birds sitting on a wall

One called Peter, one called Paul

Fly away, Peter, fly away, Paul

Come back, Peter, come back, Paul

Oranges and lemons,

Say the bells of St. Clement's.

You owe me ten shillings,

Say the bells of St. Helen's.

When will you pay me?

Say the bells at Old Bailey.

When I grow rich,

Say the bells at Shoreditch.

Here we go round the mulberry bush

The mulberry bush

The mulberry bush

Here we go round the mulberry bush

On a cold and frosty morning

This is the way we jump about

Jump about

Jump about

This is the way we jump about

On a cold and frosty morning.

Old King Cole

Was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe,

And he called for his bowl,

And he called for his fiddlers three!

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.

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 your mittens, you naughty kittens, then you shall have no pie."

"Meow, meow, meow"

Round and round the garden

Like a teddy bear

One step, two step

Tickle you under there.

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester

In a shower of rain,

He stepped in a puddle,

Right up to his middle,

And never went there again.

Clap, clap hands 1, 2, 3

Put your hands upon your knee

Lift them up to touch the sky

And clap, clap hands and away they fly.

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John,

Went to bed with his trousers on;

One shoe off and one shoe on,

Diddle diddle dumpling, my son John!

Baa, baa, black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir,

Three bags full.

One for the master,

And one for the dame,

And one for the little boy

Who lives down the lane

Cry, baby Bunting,

Daddy’s gone a-hunting,

To get a little rabbit skin

To wrap the baby Bunting in

Cry, baby Bunting,

Cry, baby Bunting.

This little piggy went to market,

This little piggy stayed at home,

This little piggy had roast beef,

This little piggy had none,

And this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home.

Hickory dickory dock. The mouse ran up the clock

The clock struck one. The mouse ran down

Hickory dickory dock

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,

And doesn't know where to find them;

Leave them alone, and they'll come home,

Wagging their tails behind them.

One, two, three, four, five,

Once I caught a fish alive.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

This little finger on my right.

I'm a little teapot, short and stout

Here's my handle, here's my spout

When I see the teacups, hear me shout

Tip me up and pour me out.

I saw three ships come sailing by,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.

I saw three ships come sailing by,

On Christmas Day in the morning.

Little Jack Horner

Sat in the corner,

Eating his Christmas pie;

He put in his thumb,

And pulled out a plum,

And said ‘What a good boy am I.

Cock a doodle doo!

My dame has lost her shoe,

My master’s lost his fiddling stick,

And doesn't know what to do

Hot cross buns!

One a penny, two a penny,

Hot cross buns!

Give them to your sons

One a penny,

Two a penny,

Hot cross buns!

Girls and boys come out to play,

The moon doth shining as bright as day,

Leave your supper,

and leave your sleep,

And join your playfellows in the street.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?

I’ve been up to London to look at the Queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?

I caught a little mouse under her chair.

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 halfway up

They were neither up nor down

Round and round

Round and round

Fee Fi Fo Fum

I smell the blood of an Englishman

Be he alive or be he dead

I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.

To market, to market to buy a fat pig;

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.

To market, to market, to buy a fat hen;

Home again, home again, rickety-ren.

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,

To see a fine lady upon a white horse;

Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,

She shall have music wherever she goes

I had a little horse

His head was made of gingerbread

His tail was made of hay

He could walk and he could trot

All around the chimney tops

With a little mustard pot

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.

Little Tommy Tittlemouse

Lived in a bell house

The bell house broke

And Tommy Tittlemouse woke.

With silver bells and cockle shells

That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the dog that worried the cat

That killed the rat that ate the malt

That lay in the house that Jack built.

Right in the middle of her forehead.

All on a summer's day;

Pop! goes the weasel.

Goosey, goosey gander

Whither shall I wander?

Upstairs and downstairs

And in my lady's chamber

There I met an old man

Who wouldn't say his prayers

So I took him by the left leg

And threw him down the stairs

Ring-a-ring o' roses,

A pocket full of posies,

A-tishoo! A-tishoo!

We all fall down.

Yankee Doodle came to town

Riding on a pony,

Stuck a feather in his cap

And called it macaroni.

Nothing would it bear

But a silver nutmeg

And a golden pear.

And everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go.
