One, two, buckle my shoe;
Three, four, knock at the door;
Five, six, pick up sticks;
Seven, eight, lay them straight;
Nine, ten, a good fat hen;
Eleven, twelve, dig and delve;
Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting;
Fifteen, sixteen, maids a-kissing;
Seventeen, eighteen, maids a-waiting;
Nineteen, twenty, I’ve had plenty.
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a large field of grass.
We can’t go over it
We can’t go under it
We’ll have to go through it
Swish swish swish
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a river.
We can’t go under it
We can’t go around it
We’ll have to swim through it
Swim swim swim
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a tree (or mountain)
We can’t go around it
We can’t go through it
We’ll have to climb up it
Climb climb climb
Down down down
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a cave.
We can’t go over it
We can’t go under it
We’ll have to go in it
Tiptoe tiptoe
I see a shiny nose and two eyes
It’s a bear!
Run out of the cave
Run run run
Climb up the tree (mountain)
Climb down the tree (mountain)
Run run run
Swim through the river
Run run run
Run through the grass
Run run run
Open the door
Shut the door
Run upstairs and
Jump in bed
We’re safe!
(French Traditional Song)
(English version: “Are You Sleeping?“)
Frere Jacques,
Frere Jacques,
Dormez-vous?
Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines!
Sonnez les matines!
Din, dan, don.
Din, dan, don.

Shoe the colt, Shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare;
Here a nail, there a nail.
Colt must go bare.
Go to bed first
A golden purse;
Go to bed second,
A golden pheasant;
Go to bed third,
A golden bird.
Friday night’s dream
On Saturday told,
Is sure to come true,
Be it never so old.
“Be it never so old” can be interpreted to mean “not very old.”
Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house.
He caught fishes
In other men’s ditches.
