Little Bo-Peep
Little Bo-Peep
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn’t know where to find them;
Leave them alone,
And they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke she found it a joke,
for still they all were fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they’d left all their tails behind ’em!
It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray
Unto a meadow hard by—
There she espied their tails, side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks she raced;
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed.
Good Night Dinosaur
Good Night Dinosaur!
One little dinosaur
Was sent to bed.
He stomped his feet,
And he shook his head!
Two big dinosaurs
Said, “No, no, no!”
I want to stay up,
I will not go!”
Three loving dinosaurs
Hugged each other tight.
They gave a big kiss
And said “Good Night!”

There Once Was a Turtle
There Once Was a Turtle
There once was a turtle who lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle and he climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me!
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea,
He caught the minnow
BUT HE DIDN’T CATCH ME!

Five Little Ducks with Actions
Pop Goes the Weasel
Pop! Goes the Weasel
All around the mulberry bush (or cobbler’s bench)
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in good fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle—
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Jimmy’s got the whooping cough
And Timmy’s got the measles
That’s the way the story goes
Pop! goes the weasel.

In other men’s ditches.
Little Kitty
Little Kitty
I like little kitty, her coat is so warm.
And if I don’t hurt her she’ll do me no harm.
So I’ll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,
But kitty and I very gently will play.
I Had a Little Hobby Horse
The Hobby Horse
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.

Hickory, dickory, dock!

The clock struck one
And down he run.
Hickory, dickory dock!

“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?”

Under her chair.”
