Little Miss Muffet
Little MissMuffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider And sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away!
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Ring a roses
Ring-a-ring-a-roses
A pocket full of posies
A-Tishoo! A-Tishoo!
We all fall down
(Here are some verses you may not know)
The cows are in the meadow
Eating buttercups
A-Tishhoo! A-Tishoo!
We all jump up!
The fish are in the water
The fish are in the sea
We all jump up With a one, two, three!
Little Bo Peep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them
Leave them alone, and they will come home
Bringing their tails behind them
