When I Was a Little Boy

When I Was a Little Boy

When I was a little boy,
I washed my
Mother's Dishes.
I put my finger in my
Ear, and pulled out
Little Fishes.

My Mother called me
Good boy,
& bid me pull out more,
I put my Finger
In my Ear,
& pulled out fourscore.

Two little dicky birds,

Two little dicky birds,
Sitting on a wall;
One named Peter,
The other named Paul.

Fly away, Peter!
Fly away, Paul!
Come back, Peter!
Come back, Paul!

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?

Tom He Was A Piper's Son

Tom He Was A Piper's Son
Tom he was a piper's son
He learned to play when he was young
But all the tune that he could play
Was over the hills and far away

Over the hills and a great way off
The wind shall blow my top-knot off

Now Tom with his pipe made such a noise
That he pleased both the girls and boys
And they stopped to hear him play
Over the hills and far away

Tom with his pipe played with such skill
That those who heard him could never keep still
Whenever they heard they began for to dance
Even pigs on their hind legs would after him prance

As Dolly was milking her cow one day,
Tom took his pipe and began for to play
So Doll and the cow danced 'The Cheshire Round',
Till the pail was broke and the milk ran on the ground.

He met old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs,
He used his pipe and she used her legs;
She danced about till the eggs were all broke,
She began for to fret, but he laughed at the joke.

Tom saw a cross fellow beating an ass,
Heavy laden with pots, pans, and glass
He took out his pipe and he played them a tune,
And the jackass's load was lightened full soon

Tom he was a piper's son
He learned to play when he was young
But all the tune that he could play
Was over the hills and far away

Over the hills and a great way off
The wind shall blow my top-knot off

Three Little Monkeys

Three Little Monkeys
Three little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell down and bumped his head
Mummy called the doctor, the doctor said
"We'll have no more monkeys jumping on the bed"

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell down and bumped his head
Mummy called the doctor, the doctor said
"We'll have no more monkeys jumping on the bed"

One little monkey jumping on the bed
He fell down and bumped his head
Mummy called the doctor, the doctor said
"We'll have no more monkeys jumping on the bed"
