Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town,
In a yellow petticoat and a green gown.

Hey, my kitten, my kitten,
And hey, my kitten, my deary,
Such a sweet pet as this
Was neither far nor neary.

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jump’d over the moon;
The little dog laugh’d
To see such craft,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.


Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a
Pail of water;
Jack fell down
And cracked
His crown,
And Jill came
Tumbling after.

Two little dogs were basking in the cinders;
Two little cats were playing in the windows;
When two little mice popped out of a hole,
And up to a fine piece of cheese they stole.
The two little dogs cried, “Cheese is nice!”
But the two little cats jumped down in a trice,
And cracked the bones of the two little mice.

Wee Willie Winkie
Runs through the town,
Up stairs and down stairs,
In his night-gown;
Tapping at the window,
Crying at the lock,
“Are the babes in their bed?
For it’s now ten o’clock.”

Little boy blue, come blow me your horn,
The sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn;
Where is the little boy tending the sheep?
Under the haycock fast asleep.

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?
I’ve been to London to see the queen.
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under the chair.
