The Cat and the Fiddle
Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed
To see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Mooly Cow
Mooly Cow
This mooly cow switched her tail all day,
And this mooly cow ate the sweet meadow hay,
And this mooly cow in the water did wade,
And this mooly cow chewed her cud in the shade,
And this mooly cow said, “Moo, the sun’s gone down!
It’s time to take the milk into town.”
2 Little Blackbirds
Two Little Blackbirds
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill.
One named Jack and the other named Jill.
Fly away, Jack. Fly away, Jill.
Come back, Jack. Come back, Jill.
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill.
Reader Michelle F. commented that she sings this rhyme to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Here’s the instrumental track so you can give it a go!
Bunnies
Bunnies
“The bunnies now must go to bed,”
The furry mother bunny said.
“But I must count them first to see
If they have all come back to me.
One bunny, two bunnies, three bunnies dear,
Four bunnies, five bunnies; yes, they’re all here.
They are the prettiest things alive,
My bunnies, one, two, three, four, five.”
Animal Fair
Animal Fair
I went to the Animal Fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey bumped the skunk
And sat on the elephant’s trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees
And that was the end of the monk
The monk, the monk, the monk,
That was the end of the monk!
I’m a Little Squirrel
I’m a Little Squirrel
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)
I’m a little squirrel, fuzzy and gray
When fall comes, I gather nuts all day
So that when the winter comes, you see,
I’ll have food for my family and me.
