THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER

I SAW A SHIP A-SAILING

I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea.
And, oh, but it was laden
With pretty things for
thee.
There were comfits in the
cabin,
And apples in the hold;
The sails were made of silk
And the masts were all of
gold.
The four-and-twenty
sailors
That stood between the
decks,
Were four-and-twenty
white mice
With chains about their
necks.
The captain was a duck
With a packet on his back,
The captain said, "Quack!
Quack!"

I'm a little teapot

Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout

The itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again
LONDON BRIDGE
London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.

Iron bars, iron bars,
Build it up with iron bars,
My fair lady.
Iron bars will bend and break,
Bend and break, bend and break,
Iron bars will bend and break,
My fair lady.
Build it up with gold and silver,
Gold and silver, gold and silver,
Build it up with gold and silver,
My fair lady.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE

WOODS
Written By: Lydia Maria Child
Music By: Unknown
Over the river and thru the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh,
Thru the white and drifted snow, oh!
Over the river and thru the wood,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and thru the wood,
To have a first-rate play;
Oh, hear the bell ring,
"Ting-a-ling-ling!"
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay!
Over the river and thru the wood,
Trot fast my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
POP, GOES THE WEASEL!
All around the cobbler's bench,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought't was all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

RING AROUND THE ROSIE

Ring around the rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down!

She scared the fish away!

And when we pulled her out,
She smelled like sauerkraut
THE FARMER IN THE DELL

ROW YOUR BOAT

The farmer in the dell

The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho, the derry-o

Row, row, row your boat

Gently Down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

The farmer takes a wife

The farmer takes a wife
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The farmer takes a wife

RUB-A-DUB DUB
Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick
maker,
Turn them out, knaves all three.

SKIP TO MY LOU
Lou, Lou, skip to my lou
Lou, lou, skip to my lou
Lou lou, skip to my lou,
Skip to my lou my darling
Lost my partner,
What'll I do?
Lost my partner,
What'll I do?
Lost my partner,
What'll I do?
Skip to my lou, my darlin'.
TRALALA BOOM DE-AY
Tra la la boom di-ay
There was no school today.
Our teacher passed away,
She died of tooth decay!
We threw her in the Bay,

The wife takes a child
