RAIN
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.
THE CLOCK
There’s a neat little clock,
In the schoolroom it stands,
And it points to the time,
With its two little hands.
And may we, like the clock,
Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready,
To do what is right.
FINGERS AND TOES
Every lady in this land,
Has twenty nails, upon each hand
Five,and twenty on hands and feet:
All this is true, without deceit.
PAT-A-CAKE
Pat-a-cake,
pat-a-cake,
Baker’s man!
So I do, master,
As fast as I can.
Pat it, and prick it,
And mark it with T,
Put it in the oven
For Tommy and me.
BEES
A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.
IF WISHES WERE HORSES
If wishes were horses,beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I would wear one by my side.
And if “ifs” and “ands”
Were pots and pans,
There’d be no work for tinkers!
TO MARKET
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety jog.
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.
THE CLEVER HEN
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen,
She washed me the dishes and kept the house clean;
She went to the mill to fetch me some flour,
She brought it home in less than an hour;
She baked me my bread, she brewed me my ale,
She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale.
LUCY LOCKET
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Nothing in it, nothing in it,
But the binding round it.
TWO BIRDS
There were two birds sat on a stone,
Fa, la, la, la, lal, de;
One flew away, and then there was one,
Fa, la, la, la, lal, de;
The other bird flew after,
And then there was none,
Fa, la, la, la, lal, de;
And so the stone Was left alone,
Fa, la, la, la, lal, de.
