Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Fingerplays for Kids
I had a little puppy,
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water,
He ate a bar of soap.
The next thing you know
He had a bubble in his throat.
In came the doctor,
In came the nurse,
In came the lady with the alligator purse.
Out went the doctor,
Out went the nurse,
Out went the lady with the alligator purse.
Horsey, horsey, don’t you stop,
Just let your feet go clippety clop;
Your tail goes swish;
And the wheels go round;
Giddy-up, you’re homeward bound!
Ring around the rosy,
A pocket full of posies.
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down.
Georgie Porgie, pudding, and pie,
Kissed the girls, and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.
I had a little hen,
The prettiest ever seen,
She washed up the dishes,
And kept the house clean.
She went to the mill
To fetch me some flour,
And always got home
In less than an hour.
She baked me my bread,
She brewed me my ale,
She sat by the fire
And she told a fine tale!
A-tisket a-tasket,
A green and yellow basket.
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way I dropped it.
I dropped it, I dropped it.
And on the way I dropped it.
A little boy picked it up,
And put it in his pocket.
Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn.
The sheep’s in the meadow;
The cow’s in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He’s under a haycock, fast asleep.
This little pig went to market,
This little pig stayed home,
This little pig had roast beef,
And this little pig had none,
And this little pig went wee-wee-wee
All the way home.
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb
And pulled out a plum
And said, “What a good boy am I!”
