A diller, a dollar

A diller, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar!
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o'clock;
Now you come at noon.

The cock doth crow

The cock doth crow
To let you know,
If you be wise,
Tis time to rise.

Barber, barber, shave a pig

Barber, barber, shave a pig!
How many hairs to make a wig?
Four and twenty, that's enough!
Give the barber a pinch of snuff.

All around the mulberry bush

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.

Up and down the City Road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.

Half a pound of tuppenney rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! goes the weasel.

Happy and You Know It

Clap Your Hands

Grocer's Shop

Green cheese

Green cheese,
Yellow laces,
Up and down
The market places

Gray goose and gander

Gray goose and gander,
Waft your wings together,
And carry the good king's daughter
Over the one-strand river.

These are Grandma's spectacles

These are Grandma's spectacles,
This is Grandma's hat.
This is the way she folds her hands,
And lays them in her lap.

Goosey, goosey, gander



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!
I took him by the left leg
And threw him down the stairs.

Good night, sleep tight


Good night, sleep tight,
Wake up bright
In the morning light
To do what's right
With all your might.
Variation: Line added between first and second "Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite"

Variation:

Good night, sleep tight,
Don’t let the bedbugs bite.
And if they do
Then take your shoe
A nd knock ‘em ‘til
They’re black and blue!

Go to bed, Tom

Go to bed, Tom.
Go to bed, Tom!
Tired or not, Tom,
Go to bed, Tom.

Georgie Porgie, puddin' and pie

Georgie Porgie, puddin' and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.

History: This rhyme refers to the amorous and amoral Prince Regent who became George IV during Regency times in England

Four stiff standers

Four stiff standers,
Four dilly-danders,
Two lookers,
Two crookers,
And a wig-wag!

Five Little Pigs



This little pig went to the market.
This little pig stayed home.
This little pig had roast beef.
This little pig had none.
This little pig cried "Wee, wee, wee, wee!"
All the way home.

Five little ducks



Five little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back

Four little ducks came running back
Four little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back

Three little ducks came running back
Three little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back

Two little ducks came running back
Two little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back

One little duck came running back
One little duck went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack,Quack come back

No little ducks came running back
Sad mother duck went out one day
Over the hill and far away
The daddy duck yelled QUACK, QUACK COME BACK!

Five little ducks came running back!

Fish Story




One, two, three, four, five –
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten –
Then I let it go again.
Why did I let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on the right.

Fiddle dee dee

Fiddle dee dee, fiddle dee dee,
The fly has married the bumblebee.
They went to the church,
And married was she.
The fly has married the bumblebee.

Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!

Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Be he 'live, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
