Puppy Dog, Puppy Dog

Puppy dog, puppy dog, wag your tail.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, let out a wail.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, jump for a bone.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, Run on home!

Penguins

Penguins

Tune: “When We Get Together”

Have you ever seen a penguin?
A penguin? A penguin?
Have you ever seen a penguin
Waddle this way and that?
Waddle this way and that way,
Waddle this way and that way?
Have you ever seen a penguin
Waddle this way and that?

Yes, I’ve seen a penguin.
A penguin. A penguin.
Yes, I’ve seen a penguin
Waddle this way and that.
He waddles and waddles,
Waddles and waddles.
Yes, I’ve seen a penguin
Waddle this way and that.

Pop Goes the Weasel

Pop! Goes the Weasel

All around the mulberry bush (or cobbler’s bench)
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in good fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle—
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

Jimmy’s got the whooping cough
And Timmy’s got the measles
That’s the way the story goes
Pop! goes the weasel.

Pease Porridge

Pease Porridge

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 post
Nine days old.

This can be a clapping game, as well.

Pussy-Cat and Queen

Pussy-Cat and Queen

“Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat,
Where have you been?”
“I’ve been to London
To look at the Queen”

“Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat,
What did you there?”
“I frightened a little mouse
Under her chair.”

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin-Eater

The Pumpkin Eater

Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well.

Pat-A-Cake

Pat-A-Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake
{clap hands}
Baker’s man
{clap hands}
Bake me a cake
{clap hands}
As fast as you can.
{clap hands}

Roll it and pat it
{roll hands, pat stomach}
And mark it with a B
{draw letter “B” with finger}
And throw it in the oven
{throw hands in the air}
For baby and me.

With newborns and infants, hold their hands while you do the actions so their arms move too. As children get older and become more familiar with the actions, they’ll begin to do them on their own. My little ones loved to clap their hands and roll their arms.

This rhyme usually ends with kisses all over baby’s face, neck and stomach. It’s a great bonding rhyme.

Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Pat

Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Pat

Pitter-patter, pitter-pat
The rain goes on for hours.
And though it keeps me in the house
It’s very good for flowers.
