A Crooked Man

Children's Nursery Rhyme and Sound Clip

John "Kinderman" Taylor

There was a crooked man,

Who walked a crooked mile.

He found a crooked sixpence

Upon a crooked stile.

He bought a crooked cat

Who caught a crooked mouse,

And they all lived together in a

Crooked little house.

Baa, baa, black sheep

Have you any wool?

Have you any wool?

Three bags full

The Farmers In the Dell

With New Lyrics by Songs for Teaching®
Performed by Marla Lewis

The farmers in the dell

The farmers in the dell
Hi Ho the Derry-Oh
The farmers in the dell

The Farmers buy a tractor...

The tractor tills the ground....

The tractor plants the seeds ....

The wheat grows and grows....

The Farmers reap the wheat...

The Farmers grind the wheat...

The wheat bakes into bread....

The Farmers eat the bread....

The farmers in the dell

The farmers in the dell
Hi Ho the Derry-Oh
The farmers in the dell

The Grand Old Duke of York

Fingerplay for Young Children

Actions and Photos from Hugh Hanley
Oh, the... grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men,
Stop marching.

And he marched them up to the top of the hill,

Wiggle your fingers and "march" them as high as you
can.

And he marched them down again.

Wiggle your fingers as you "march" them down.

And when they were up, they were up,

And when they were down, they were down,

And when they were only half-way up,

Hold your arms at waist level. Cross and uncross them.
They were neither up

nor down.

Hey, Diddle Diddle

Children's Nursery Rhyme Song Lyrics and Sound Clip

Performed by Marla Lewis

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.

Hot Cross Buns

Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip

Performed by Rachel Rambach

Hot cross buns,

Hot cross buns,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

If you have no daughters,

If you have no sons,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

If your sons don't like them,

They're the only ones,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

I don't tell jokes

and I don't tell puns,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

Get them while they're hot

and eat them by the ton,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
Humpty Dumpty

Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip

Performed by Rachel Rambach

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty
Together again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
The more the girls cried,
The harder they tried,
To put Humpty Dumpty
Together again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Finally put him
Together again.

I'm a Little Teapot

Traditional Song Lyrics and Sound Clip

I'm a little teapot, short and stout

Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up hear me shout.
Just tip me over and pour me out.

I'm a clever teapot, yes it's true

Here's an example of what I can do
I can change my handle to my spout
Just tip me over and pour me out.

I'm a little teapot, short and stout,

Here is my handle, here is my spout,
When I hear the tea-cups, hear me shout,
"Tip me up and pour me out".

It's Raining, It's Pouring

Lyrics:

It's raining, it's pouring;

The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and he
Bumped his head
And he couldn't get up in the morning.
It's snowing, it's blowing
The old man is growing
He ate so much one day for lunch
Every part of him was showing.

It warm out and sunny

The old man loves honey
He tried to seize
A batch from the bee's
And they didn't find it funny.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

The teeny tiny spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the teeny tiny spider went up the spout again

The big humongous spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the big humongous spider went up the spout again

Instrumental
(do the motions)

(whisper)
Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Jack and Jill

Lyrics:

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.

Up Jack got, and home did trot

As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

Lazy Mary

Lazy Mary will you get up,

Will you get up, will you get up.
Lazy Mary will you get up,
Will you get up today.

No, no mother I won’t get up,

I won’t get up, I won’t get up.
No, no mother I won’t get up,
I won’t get up today.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

And doesn’t know where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.
Little Bo Peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,

Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they’d left their tales behind them.

It happened one day, as Bo Peep did stray

Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tales side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.

She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,

And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
To tack each again to its lambkin.

Alternate first verse:

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them

Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue,

Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn;

Where is the boy

Who looks after the sheep?
He’s under the haystack
Fast asleep.
The Little Green Frog
Traditional Song Lyrics

Actions:
"mm" - Hands closed facing front on either side of face, eyes and mouth closed.
"AH" - Open wide hands, mouth, and eyes. This happens each time you sing this.
"Vo do di o...". - Roll hands in front of you. Lean to the side, changing sides with each
“Vo."

"mm AAH!”, went the little green frog one day.

"mm AAH!”, went the little green frog.
"mm AAH!”, went the little green frog one day,
And the little green frog went, “mm AH mm AH mm AH AH!”

All the other frogs went, “Vo do di o di o! (di = dee)

Vo do di o di o! Vo do di o di o!."
All the other frogs went, “Vo do di o!",
But the little green frog went, “mm AH mm AH mm AH AH!"
