[[audio/mpeg]] King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three
Every fiddler had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he;
Twee, tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.
Oh, there's none so rare
As can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three!
[[audio/mpeg]] Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them.
Let them alone and they'll come home,
And bring their tails behind them, &c.
[[audio/mpeg]] Mistress Mary,
Quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells,
And cockle shells.
And cowslips all of a-row.
[[audio/mpeg]] Needles and pins, needles and pins,
When a man marries his trouble begins.
[[audio/mpeg]] Once I saw a little bird,
Come hop, hop, hop;
So I cried, "Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?"
And was going to the window,
To say, "How do you do?"
When he shook his little tail,
And far away he flew.
[[audio/mpeg]] Pease-pudding hot, pease-pudding cold;
Pease-pudding in the pot, nine days old.
[[audio/mpeg]] Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.
[[audio/mpeg]] Ride a-cock horse to Banbury Cross,
To see an old woman get up on her horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells at her toes,
And so she makes music wherever she goes.
