Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run! See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice?

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run! See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice?
(Tune: “Farmer in the Dell“)
A circle’s like a ball,
A circle’s like a ball,
Round and round
It never stops.

A square is like a box,
A square is like a box,

They are the same.

Two are long, and
Two are short.

The clock struck one
And down he run.

Said the first little chicken with a queer little squirm,
“Oh, I wish I could find a fat little worm!”
Said the second little chicken with an odd little shrug,
“Oh, I wish I could find a fat little bug!”
Said the third little chicken with a little sigh of grief,
“Oh, I wish I could find a green little leaf!”
Said the fourth little chicken with a sharp little squeal,
“Oh, I wish I could find some nice yellow meal!”
Said the fifth little chicken with a faint little moan,
“Oh, I wish I could find a wee gravel stone!”
“Now see here!” said their mother from the green garden patch,
“If you want any breakfast, you just come here and scratch!”
