Old King Cole

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, Who danced every day freely, He’d jig in the morn, He’d waltz in the noon, And at night he would boogie woogie! But he could not dance without a few things That always must be at his side; So he’d call for his pipe, And he’d call for his bowl, And he’d call for... Sign in to see full entry.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep And can’t tell where to find them; She looks here and everywhere But sadly cannot see them. She calls their names out from the fields, In hopes that they will hear her, But nary a sound can be heard, And how the silence scares her. “Where could they be?” she starts...

Deedle, Deedle, Dumpling

Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John Played every day upon the lawn; Whether in rain or bright sunshine, Little, little John would play just fine!

Humpty Dumpty

That’s when she saw me starting straight up at her, Nineteen times as high as the moon; I gave her a smile that... Sign in to see full entry.

Little Girl, Little Girl

Little girl, little girl where have you been? Your dress is all dirty and there’s mud on your chin. Your shoes are all scuffed and your hair is in knots, So, why little girl, are you smiling a lot? I was down in the garden smelling each bloom, To pick the sweetest ones with the sweetest perfume;... Sign in to see full entry.

Ring Around the Rosie

Start a ring around the rosie, With a pocket full of posies, Faeries, faeries, Wearing flower crowns. They fly around the flowers, And give pretty posie showers, Dancing, dancing, In fancy petal gowns. They make the evenings bloom, And lift the darkened gloom, Singing, singing, As they dance around.... Sign in to see full entry.
