Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb, / It's fleece was white as snow; / And everywhere that Mary went / The lamb was sure to go. / He followed her to school one day / Which was against the rule; / It made the children laugh and play, / To see a lamb at school. / And so the teacher turned him out, / But still he lingered near; / And waited patiently about / Till Mary did appear.

Hush-a-Bye Baby

Hush-a-bye baby on the tree top, / When the wind blows the cradle will rock; / When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, / Down will come baby, bough, cradle and all.

I’m a Little Teapot

I am a little teapot, / Short and stout. /Here is my handle, / Here is my spout. / When the water’s boiling, / Hear me shout! / Pick me up / And pour me out. / I am a little teapot, / Short and stout. / Here is my handle, / Here is my spout. / When the water’s boiling, / Hear me shout! / Pick me up / And pour me out.

The Owl and the Pussy-cat

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea / In a beautiful pea-green boat, / They took some honey, and plenty of money, / Wrapped up in a five-pound note. / The Owl looked up to the stars above, / And sang to a small guitar, / “O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, / What a beautiful Pussy you are, / You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!”
