Some Kindergarten Rhymes

Hey! diddle, diddle

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baa, baa, black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir,

Three bags full;

One for my master,

One for my dame,

And one for the little boy

That lives in our lane.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hickory, dickory, dock,

The mouse ran up the clock;

The clock struck one,

The mouse ran down;

Hickory, dickory, dock.

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

To fetch a pail of water;

Jack fell down, and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

Little Miss Muffet

Sat on a tuffet,

Eating of curds and whey;

There came a spider,

And sat down beside her,

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One, two,

Buckle my shoe;

Three, four,

Shut the door;

Five, six,

Pick up sticks;

Seven eight,

Lay them straight;

Nine, ten,

A good fat hen;

Eleven, twelve,

Who will delve?

Thirteen, fourteen,

Maids a-courting;

Fifteen, sixteen,

Maids a-kissing;

Seventeen, eighteen,

Maids a-waiting;

Nineteen, twenty,

My stomach's empty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,

Baker's man,

Bake me a cake

As fast as you can;

Prick it and pat it,

And mark it with T,

And put it in the oven

For Teddy and me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rock-a-bye, baby,

In the tree top:

When the wind blows,

The cradle will rock;

When the bough breaks,

The cradle will fall;

Down will come baby,

Cradle and all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,

Home again, home again, dancing a jig;

To market, to market, to buy a fat hog;

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog;

To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,

Home again, home again, market is done.

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,

Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,

Rapping at the window, crying through the lock,

"Are the children in their beds, for now it's eight o'clock?"

Bringing their tails behind them

Sitting on a hollow log

Eating some delicious bugs

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool

Now there are four little freckled frogs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four little monkeys

Jumping on the bed

One fell down and broke his head

Mamma called the doctor

The doctor said, No more monkeys jumping on the bed

On the way I lost it

A postman found the letter

And put it in my basket

And in the Lady’s chamber

Why did you let it go

Because it bit my finger so

Which finger did it bite

The little finger on the right

And fingers and toes

Two wet legs

And a shiney nose

And there he kept her very well

How does your garden grow

With silver shells and bobtail shells

And pretty maids all in a row

We are all a family

With a great big hug

And a kiss from me to you

Then you say

You love me too.
