Hey Diddle Diddle

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.

Jack and Jill went up the hill

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got, and home did trot,

As fast as he could caper,

He went to bed to mend his head,

With vinegar and brown paper.

Miss Polly had a Dolly

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick,

sick, sick.

So she phoned for the doctor to come

quick, quick, quick.

The doctor came with his bag and his

hat

And he knocked at the door with a rat-

a-tat-tat.

He looked at the dolly and he shook his

head

And he said “Miss Polly, put her straight

to bed!”

He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill

“I’ll be back in the morning yes I will,

will, will.”

Sing a song of sixpence

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?

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

the clothes,

When down came a

blackbird and pecked

off her nose!

The Owl and the Pussycat

The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea

In a beautiful pea-green boat,

They took some honey, and plenty of money,

Wrapped up in a five pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,

And sang to a small guitar,

"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,

What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are, you are,

What a beautiful Pussy you are."

Pussy said to the Owl "You elegant fowl,

How charmingly sweet you sing.

O let us be married, too long we have tarried;

But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day,

To the land where the Bong-tree grows,

And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood

With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose,

With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling your ring?"

Said the Piggy, "I will"

So they took it away, and were married next day

By the Turkey who lives on the hill.

They dined on mince, and slices of quince,

Which they ate with a runcible spoon.

And hand in hand, on the edge of the

sand.

They danced by the light of the moon,

the moon, the moon,

They danced by the light of the moon.

The Grand old Duke of York

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.

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.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the King's horses,

And all the King's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again!

Old King Cole

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.

Every fiddler he had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he,

Oh there's none so rare, as can

compare

With King Cole and his fiddlers

three.

Pop Goes the Weasel

Half a pound of tupenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop! goes the weasel.

Every night when I get home

The monkey’s on the table,

Take a stick and knock it off,

Pop! goes the weasel.

Up and down the city road,

In and out the Eagle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop! goes the weasel.
