Baa, Baa Black Sheep from Mother Goose
Baa, baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes, sir, Three bags full.
One for my master, One for my dame,
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Baa, baa black sheep, Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full.
Fishy, Fishy
Fishy, fishy in the brook
Daddy caught him by the hook.
Mommy fried him in the pan,
And (child's name) ate him
Like a man!

Hickory, dickory, dock.

Hot cross buns,

Hot cross buns!
Humpty Dumpty from Mother Goose
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.

I'm a Little Acorn Brown
I'm a little acorn brown,
Lying on the cold, cold ground.
Everyone steps on me.
That why I'm cracked you see.
I'm a nut (click, click)
I'm a nut (click, click)
I'm a nut (click, click)
Mary Had a Little Lamb
from Mother Goose
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow.
And ev'ry where that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Ev'ry where that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
School one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb in school.
Me!
Me i, me i
Me a, me a
Me o, me o
Me u.

The monkey chased the weasel.

The Snowman

A chubby little
snowman
had a carrot
nose. A-

Ate that little
snowman's nose,
Nibble, nibble,
crunch!

Nibble, nibble, nibble,
nibble, nibble, nibble,
nibble, nibble, CRUNCH!!

Nine little Indians,
Ten little Indian boys.
