Nursery Rhymes
We don't seem to hear a lot of nursery rhymes or clapping and skipping songs now. Hope you recognise some of these. Look out for the forum on Nursery Rhymes!
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?
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 mit my finger so
Which finger did he bite
This little finger on my right!
Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall
One named Peter one named Paul
Fly away Peter fly away Paul
Come back Peter, come back Paul
Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall
Knock on the door, peak in
Lift the latch and walk in
Take a chair and place it there
How do you do this morning?
Star light, start bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed at home
This little piggy had French bread (or roast beef)
And this little piggy had none
And this little piggy went wee-wee-wee
All the way home
Hickory Dickory Dock
(tick tock)
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock stuck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock
(tick tock)
Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear
One step, two steps
And
Tickly under there
Teddy bear, Teddy bear turn around
Teddy bear, Teddy bear touch the ground
Teddy bear, Teddy bear touch your toes
Teddy bear, Teddy bear touch your nose
Teddy bear, Teddy bear put on your shoe
Teddy bear, Teddy bear I love you
Teddy bear, Teddy bear hold on tight
Teddy bear, Teddy bear turn off the light
Teddy bear, teddy bear say good night
Rainy Day Rhymes
Lovely weather for ducks!
Rain Rain go away come again another day
Rain rain go away come on mothers washing day
I hear thunder, I hear thunder
Hark don't you, hark don't you?
Pitter patter raindrops, pitter patter raindrops
I'm wet thrrough, so are you
Dr Foster went to Gloster in a shower of rain
He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle
And never went there again.
Six little ducks that I once Knew
Fat ones, Skinny ones, there were too
But the one with the feathers all on his back
You can hear over the others with his quack, quack , quack
Quack quack quack, quack quack quack
You can hear over the others with his quack quack quack?
Nursery Rhymes Granny shared!
I love nursery rhymes; here’s some really old ones, see if you remember them, we used to skip or clap to some of these.
I had a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
The King of Spain’s daughter
Came to visit me
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree
One, two, three, four
Mary at the cottage Door
Five, six, seven, eight
Eating cherries of a plate
Here I am
Little Jumping Joan
When nobody’s with me
I’m all alone
Jack ne nible, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candle stick!
Pease porridge hot
Pease porridge cold
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine Days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old
Lucy Locket lost her pocket
Kitty Fisher found it
Not a penny was there in it
Only Ribbon round it
The man in the moon
Came down too soon
To ask his way to Norwich
He went by the south
And burnt his mouth
While eating cold plum porridge
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His Wife could eat no lean
And so between them both you see
They licked the platter clean
Higgledy Piggledy my black hen
She lays eggs for gentleman
Sometimes nine and sometimes ten
Higgledy Piggledy my black hen
There was a little girl and she had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
And when she was good, she was very, very good
But when she was bad she was horrid
I had a donkey he wouldn’t go
Did I beat him oh no no
I put him in the barn
And gave him some corn
The best little donkey
That was ever born.
Curly Locks, Curly Locks
Will you be mine?
You won’t wash the dishes
Or go feed the swine
But sit on a cushion
And sew a fine seam
And feed upon strawberries
Sugar and cream.
Cock a doodle doo!
The dame has lost her shoe
The master’s lost his fiddling stick
And they don’t know what to do.
Bobby Shaftoes gone to sea
Silver buckles on his knee
He’ll come back and marry me
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe!
Bobby Shaftoes Light and Fair
Combing down his yellow hair
He’s my love foe evermore
Bonny Bobbu Shaoftoe!
There was al old woman
Lived under a hill,
And if she’s not gone
She lvies there still
Little Tommy Tittlemouse
He lived in a little house
He caught fishes
From other men,s ditches.
Robert Barnes fellow fine
Can you shoe this horse of mine
Yes sir that I can
Just as well as any man
Little Polly Flinders
Sat among the cinders
Warming her pretty little toes
Her mother came and caught her
And spanked her little daughter
For spoiling he nice new clothes
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper;
A peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked;
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper;
Where’s the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked.
