Cock-A-Doodle-Doo
Cock-a-doodle-doo,
My dame has lost her shoe.
My master’s lost his fiddlestick,
And knows not what to do.
Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Fingerplays for Kids
Cock-a-doodle-doo,
My dame has lost her shoe.
My master’s lost his fiddlestick,
And knows not what to do.
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The King was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The Queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
Along came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.
One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater

Rain, Rain Go Away
A Week of Birthdays
Curly-locks, Curly-locks, wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash the dished nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam
And feed upon strawberries sugar and cream.
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.
Hickory, dickory, dock!
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one
And down he run.
Hickory, dickory dock!
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle-shells
And pretty maids all in a row.
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.”
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.
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
That was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near;
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.
“Why does the lamb love Mary so?”
The eager children cry.
“Why Mary loves the lamb, you know!”
The teacher did reply.
Rain, rain go away
Little Sammi wants to play
Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day
Switch out Sammi for your child’s name. Little ones love hearing their name in a song or rhyme. They feel very special. They are also more attentive because it connects to them personally.
