Jack Be NimbleSing a Song of Sixpence
Old woman, old woman, shall we go a shearingThere was an old woman, and what do you think
Little polly flindersAs i was going up primrose hill
Jack and Jill went up the hillA farmer went trotting upon his grey mare
There was an old woman called Nothing-at-allThe robin redbreasts
Nievie, nievie, nicknackPat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Let us go to the wood, says this pigLeg over leg
A little boy went into a barnDickery, dickery, dock
There was a jolly millerThere was an owl lived in an oak
Where are you going to, my pretty Maid?The death and burial of poor cock robin
The rose is red, the violet's blueThere was an old man of Tobago
Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy and BessSing a song of sixpence
The walrus and the carpenterBaa, Baa, Black Sheep
Handy Spandy, Jack-a-dandyValentine, oh, valentine
Dickery, dickery, dareGeorgie Porgie
Up Hill, spare mePoor dog bright
Oh! mother, I shall be married to Mr. PunchinelloMy little old man and I fell out
Little Bo PeepDance to your daddy
We'll go a-shootingGoosey, goosey, gander, whither shall i wander
Little Jack HornerLittle Tommy Tittlemouse
See, saw, Margery DawLittle Betty Blue
As I went to BonnerThe Turtle Dove's Nest
Little Miss MuffetTo market, to market, a gallop, a trot
Hey! diddle, diddleRide a cock-horse
