A Hat For A Cat

Where are you going my little cat?

I am going to town to get me a hat

What! A hat for a cat!

A cat get a hat!

Who ever saw a cat with a hat?

A Swarm Of Bees In May

A swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay

A swarm of bees in June, is worth a silver spoon

A swarm of bees in July, is not worth a fly




A Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl sat in an oak

The more he heard the less he spoke

The less he spoke the more he heard

Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?


Aiken Drum

There was a man lived on the moon

Lived on the moon, lived on the moon

There was a man lived on the moon

And his name was Aiken Drum


(chorus)

And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle

And he played upon a ladle

And his name was Aiken Drum


His hat was made of good cream cheese

Of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese

His hat was made of good cream cheese

And his name was Aiken Drum


(chorus)


His shoes were made of crusty pies

Of crusty pies, of crusty pies

His shoes were made of crusty pies

And his name was Aiken Drum


(chorus)



His coat was made of good roast beef

Of good roast beef, of good roast beef

His coat was made of good roast beef

And his name was Aiken Drum


(chorus)


His shirt was made of penny loaves

Of penny loaves, of penny loaves

His shirt was made of penny loaves

And his name was Aiken Drum


(chorus)


An Elephant Goes Like This Like That

An elephant goes like this and that

He’s terribly big and terribly fat

He has no fingers, he has no toes

But goodness gracious what a nose!

Animal Jungle

There are lions and tigers

Cheeky chimpanzees

In the animal jungle


Who's that there?

It's a big brown bear

In the animal jungle


Watch where you tread

Don't you make a sound

Whatever you do 

Don't turn around

Don't sit there

That's a termite mound

In the animal jungle, animal jungle


There are cheetahs and panthers

Slithery snakes

In the animal jungle


On that log

It's a tropical frog

In the animal jungle


Stay quite still

There's an elephant near

What's that cry

It's a baby deer

All the creatures

You can hear

In the animal jungle, animal jungle

Animal jungle, animal jungle


As I Was Going To St Ives

As I was going to St. Ives

I met a man with seven wives

Every wife had seven sacks

Every sack had seven kits

Kits, cats, sacks and wives

How many were going to St. Ives?

At Early Morn The Spider's Spin

At early morn the spiders spin

And by and by the fly drops in

And when they call the spiders say

'Take off your things and stay all day'

At The Zoo

Mummy said, "Wake up and open your eyes

Hurry up get ready, I’ve got a surprise

You may have forgotten, where I’m taking you"

And then I remembered, a day at the zoo


(chorus)

At the zoo, there are elephants with trunks so long

At the zoo, a gorilla just like King Kong

At the zoo, lots of birds all singing their songs

That’s what you’ll find at the zoo

At the zoo, there are polar bears and kangaroos

At the zoo, there are lions and tigers too

At the zoo, there are chimps to chatter to you

That’s what you’ll find at the zoo


We looked at the lions, who gave us a roar

Then onto the tigers, who roared some more

Next came the elephants, enjoying a bath

Onto the camels, and long-necked giraffes


(chorus)

Au Claire De La Lune

Au Clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot

Préte-moi ta plume, pour écrire un mot

Ma chandelle est morte, je n’ai pas de feu

Ouvre-moi ta porte, pour l’amour de Dieu


Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit

Je n’ai pas de plume, je suis dans mon lit

Va chez la voisine, je crois qu’elle y est

Car dans sa cuisine, on bat le briquet


August Heat

In August, when the days are hot

I like to find a shady spot

And hardly move a single bit

And sit

And sit

And sit

And sit



Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa baa black sheep have you any wool

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

One for the Master, one for the Dame

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane

Baby's Boat

Baby’s bed a silver moon, sailing in the sky

Sailing o’er the sea of sleep

While the stars float by

Sail baby sail, out upon that sea 

Only don’t forget to sail, back again to me


Baby’s fishing for a dream, fishing far and near

Her line a silver moon beam is

Her bait a silver star

Sail baby sail, out upon that sea 

Only don’t forget to sail, back again to me 

Babylon

How many miles to Babylon?

Three-score and ten

Can I get there by candle-light?

Yes, and back again

If your heels are nimble and light

You may get there by candle-light




Barber Shave A Pig

Barber, barber, shave a pig

How many hairs will make a wig

Four and twenty, that's enough

Give the barber a pick of snuff

Bat Bat

Bat, bat, come under my hat

And I'll give you a slice of bacon

And when I bake, I'll give you a cake

If I am not mistaken




Bedtime

The evening is coming, the sun sinks to rest

The rooks are all flying, straight home to the nest

“Caw!” says the rook, as he flies overhead

It’s time little people were going to bed


The flowers are closing, the daisy’s asleep

The primrose is buried, in slumber so deep

Shut up for the night, is the pimpernel red

It’s time little people were going to bed


The butterfly, drowsy, has folded its wing

The bees are returning, no more the birds sing

Their labour is over, their nestlings are fed

It’s time little people were going to bed

Bell Horses

Bell horses, bell horses, what time of day?

One o'clock, two o'clock, three and away


One to make ready, and two to prepare

Good luck to the rider, and away goes the mare


One for the money. two for the show

Three to make ready, and four to go


Betty Botter

Betty Botter bought some butter

But, she said, the butter's bitter

If I put it in my batter

It will make my batter bitter

But a bit of better butter

That would make my batter better

So she bought a bit of better butter

Better than her bitter butter

And she put it in her batter

And the batter was not bitter

So it was better Betty Botter

Bought a bit of better butter

Big Ted, Little Ted

Big Ted, Little Ted

Hiding in the garden shed

Knock, knock, peekabo

I've found you


Little Ted, Little Ted

Hiding underneath the bed

Yoo-hoo, peekabo

I've found you


Jermima, Jermima

Who's going to find her?

Yoo-hoo, peekabo

I've found you

There was a farmer had a dog

His name was Bobby Bingo

Bobby Shafto

Bobby Shafto's gone to sea

Silver buckles on his knee

He'll come back and marry me

Bonny Bobby Shafto


Bobby Shafto's bright and fair

Combing down his yellow hair

He's my love for evermore

Bonny Bobby Shafto

Bow Wow Says The Dog

Bow-wow, says the dog

Mew, mew, says the cat

Grunt, grunt, goes the hog

And squeak goes the rat

Tu-whu, says the owl

Caw, caw, says the crow

Quack, quack, says the duck

What cuckoos say you know

Bow Wow Wow

Bow, wow, wow

Who’s dog art thou?

Little Tom Tinker's dog

Bow, wow, wow




Bye Baby Bunting

Bye, bay bunting

Daddy's gone a-hunting

To fetch a little rabbit skin

To wrap the baby bunting in
