Childrens Rhymes

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star





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
Weary travellers in the dark
thank you for your tiny spark
marking out the road ahead
lead them safely home to bed
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Come and shine your little light
Twinkle twinkle all the night
may you never shut your eye
'til the sun is in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are


The Wheels On The Bus


The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round, all day long
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, swish swish swish, swish swish swish
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, all day long
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, all day long
The children on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down
The children on the bus go up and down, all day long
The babies on the bus go wah wah wah, wah wah wah, wah wah wah
The babies on the bus go wah wah wah, all day long
The mums on the bus go sshh sshh sshh, sshh sshh sshh, sshh sshh sshh
The mums on the bus go sshh sshh sshh, all day long
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round, all day long


Jack And Jill


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
Went to bed to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper



Pop Goes The Weasel





Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Up and down the city streets
In and out The Eagle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel


London Bridge Is Falling Down




London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady
Build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel
Build it up with iron and steel, my fair lady
Iron and steel will bend and bow, bend and bow, bend and bow
Iron and and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady
Build it up with wood and clay, wood and clay, wood and clay
Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady
Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away
Wood and clay will wash away, my fair lady
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady
Traditional, words arranged by David Fisher

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
and every fiddler had a fine fiddle and a very fine fiddle had he
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
and a merry old soul was he


There Was A Crooked Man




There was a crooked man who walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a crooked little house


3 Blind Mice




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?


12345



One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let him go again
Why did you let him go?
Because he bit my finger so
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger in my right

Humpty Dumpty




Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again


Hickory Dickory Dock



Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock



Rock-A-Bye-Baby



Rock-a-bye-Baby, on the tree-top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
Down will come Baby, cradle and all


The Grand Old Duke Of York

Oh 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
But when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down


One Potato, Two Potato

One potato, two potato, three potato, four
Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more
One potato, two potato, three potato, four
Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more

Horsie, Horsie

Horsey horsey don't you stop
Let you feet go clippety clop
your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
giddy-up we're homeward bound!

The Muffin Man

Have you seen the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Have you seen the Muffin Man who lives on Drury Lane?
Yes, I've seen the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Have you seen the Muffin Man who lives on Drury Lane

Baa Baa Blacksheep



Baa baa blacksheep, 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

I'm A Little Teapot



I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here's my handle and here's my spout
when I see the tea cups, hear me shout
"Tip me up and pour me out!"

Sing A Song Of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence - a pocketful of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds backed in a pie
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing
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
Along came a Blackbird and pecked off her nose!


If You're Happy And You Know It

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it, stretch up tall
If you're happy and you know it, stretch up tall
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, stretch up tall
If you're happy and you know it, jump up
If you're happy and you know it, jump up
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, jump up
If you're happy and you know it, shout "We are!"
If you're happy and you know it, shout "We are!"

Dance To Your Daddy

Dance to your daddy my little laddie
Dance to your daddy my little man
You shall have a fishy on a little dishy
You shall have a fishy when the boat come in

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker
turn 'em out knaves all three!

Row Row Row Your Boat




Row row row your boat, gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream

Sleeping Bunnies



See the bunnies sleeping 'til it's nearly noon
shall we go and wake them with a merry tune?
Oh so still - are they ill?
Wake up!
Hop, hop, hop little bunnies
Hop, hop, hop little bunnies
Hop, hop, hop little bunnies
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop

Heads And Shoulders



Heads and shoulders, knees and toes - knees and toes
Heads and shoulders, knees and toes - knees and toes
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Heads and shoulders, knees and toes - knees and toes


Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush




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


Green Bottles



Ten green bottles sitting on the wall
Ten green bottles sitting on the wall
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall
There'd be nine green bottles sitting on the wall
Nine green bottles sitting on the wall, etc...
Until...
There'd be no green bottles sitting on the wall
