Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Fingerplays for Kids
There was a little bunny who lived in the wood.
He wiggled his ears as a good bunny should.
He hopped by a squirrel.
He hopped by a tree.
He hopped by a duck.
And he wiggled by me.
He stared at the squirrel.
He peeked round the tree.
He stared at the duck.
But he winked at me!

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

A cat came fiddling out of the barn,
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.
She could sing nothing but “Fiddle-de-dee,
The mouse has married the bumble-bee.”
Pipe, cat!
Dance, mouse!
We’ll have a wedding at our good house.
I had a little hobby horse,
And it was dapple gray.
Its head was made of pea-straw,
Its tail was made of hay.
I sold it to an old woman
For a copper groat;
And I’ll not sing my song again
Without another coat.
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 white caked;
Home again, home again, never was baked.
To market, to market to buy a plum bun;
Home again, home again, market is done!
Bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, what do you hear?
Bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, lift your ear!
Bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, hop this way.
Bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, nibble your hay.
Bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, never makes a peep.
Bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, you’re now asleep.
This is my turtle.
He lives in a shell.
He likes his home very well.
He pokes his head out when he wants to eat.
And pulls it back in when he wants to sleep.
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!
