NURSERY RHYMES LYRICS
HEY, DIDDLE, DIDDLE
Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon
SIMPLE SIMON
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
"Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Indeed, I have not any."
Simple Simon went a-fishing
For to catch a whale;
But all the water he had got
Was in his mothers pail.
He went to catch a dicky-bird,
And thought he could not fail,
Because he had a pinch of salt
To put upon its tail.
GOOSEY, GOOSEY GANDER
Goosey, goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my ladys chamber.
There I met an old man
Who would not say his prayers.
I took him by the left leg
And threw him down the stairs.
THREE BLIND MICE
Three blind mice, see how they run!
They all ran after the farmers wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?
BARBER, BARBER
Barber, barber, shave a pig,
How many hairs will make a wig?
"Four-and-twenty, thats enough."
Give the poor barber a pinch of snuff.
COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
My dame has lost her shoe,
My masters lost his fiddlestick,
And knows not what to do!
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
What is my dame to do?
Till master finds his fiddlestick,
Shell dance without her shoe.
TWO CATS OF KILKENNY
There once were two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many;
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there werent any.
THREE WISE MEN OF GOTHAM

They went to sea in a bowl,
And if the bowl had been stronger
My song had been longer.

A knock in the eye.

IF ALL THE WORLD WERE PAPER
If all the world were paper,
And all the sea were ink,
And all the trees were bread and cheese,
What would we have to drink?
LITTLE BOY BLUE
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
The sheeps in the meadow, the cows in the corn;
But where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
Hes under a haycock, fast asleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I,
For if I do, hes sure to cry.
I HAD A LITTLE PONY
I had a little pony,
His name was Dapple Gray;

She rode him through the mire;
I would not lend my pony now,
For all the ladys hire.
Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen

To see what my black hen doth lay.

Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short and his tail cut long,
Oh where, oh where is he?

And one for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

And hide his head under his wing.

Come again another day.
ONCE I SAW A LITTLE BIRD
Once I saw a little bird
Come hop, hop, hop,

I was going to the window
To say, "How do you do?"
But he shook his little tail
And away he flew.
LITTLE ROBIN REDBREAST
Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree,
Up went Pussycat, and down went he;
Down came Pussy, and away Robin ran;
Says little Robin Redbreast, "Catch me if you can."

Pussycat jumped after him, and almost got a fall;
Little Robin chirped and sang, and what did Pussy say?
Pussycat said, "Mew," and Robin jumped away.

In a shower of rain;

Rain on the tree,
Rain on the housetop,
But not on me.

A half-penny loaf will serve us all;
You find milk, and Ill find flour,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.
