Little Ship

I had the prettiest little ship,

            With sails as white as snow,

I went down to the riverside

             To sail it to and fro.


And oh, a puff of wind came by

              And took my boat from me!

I wonder if it`s sailing now

              Upon the wide blue sea.

Old chairs to mend!

Old chairs to mend!

       Old chairs to mend!

I never would cry,

       old chairs to mend,

If I`d as much money as I could spend.

        I never would cry, old chairs to mend!



Old clothes to sell! Old clothes to sell!

        I never would cry, old clothes to sell,

If I`d as much money as I could tell,

        I never would cry, old clothes to sell!

I love little pussy

I love little pussy,

   Her coat is so warm,

And if I don`t hurt her

             She`ll do me no harm,

So I`ll not pull her away,

             Nor drive her away,

But pussy and I

              Very gently will play,

She shall sit by my side,

       And I`ll give her some food;

And pussy will love me

               Because I am good.

A Cat

A Cat came fiddling out of a barn,

                   With a pair of bagpipes under her arm

She could sing nothing but,

                             Fiddle cum fee,

The mouse has married the humble-bee.

       Pipe, cat; dance, mouse;

We`ll have a wedding at our good house.

Rat a tat, tat

Rat a tat, tat

Who is that ?

         Only Grandma`s pussy cat.

What do you want ?

               A bottle of milk.

Where is your money ?

               In my pocket.

Where is your pocket ?

               I forgot it.

Oh you silly Pussy cat.

Who killed Cock Robin ?

Who killed Cock Robin ?

         I, said the sparrow,

With my bow and arrow,

         I killed Cock Robin.


All the birds of the air

         Fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,

When they heard the bell toll

For poor Cock Robin.

Way down south where

Way down south where

        bananas grow,

A grasshopper stepped on

        an elephant`s toe.

The elephant said,

        with tears in his eyes,

'Pick on somebody your own size`
