The north wind doth blow
The north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will the robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit on a twig,
And we'll feed him some bread,
And he'll sing to say 'Thank you, my friends',
Poor thing!
Folk
The Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.
The Rajah's secret
The Rajah had a secret, he had green hair,
So he always wore a hat, so that no one would stare.
No one knew his secret in all the land,
Except his barber, who said it looked grand.
Gopal never told a soul, for many a year,
So he went to the forest, out of fear.
He told the tallest tree: 'You must believe me,
The Rajah wears a hat to hide his bright green hair.'
The twelve days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All day long!
The bell on the bus goes 'Ding, ding, ding!
Ding, ding, ding...ding, ding, ding!'
The bell on the bus goes 'Ding, ding, ding!'
All day long!
The wipers on the bus go 'Swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish...swish, swish, swish!'
The wipers on the bus go 'Swish, swish, swish!'
All day long!
"There was a crooked man..."
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe..."
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread;
And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

That killed the rat that ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the way we lay the bricks
This is the way we we lay the bricks,
To make the walls nice and thick.

All day long.

Strong and good, strong and good.
This is the way we saw the wood,
All day long.

Hammer and nail, hammer and nail.
This is the way we hammer and nail,
All day long.
This is the way we clean the glass,
Clean the glass, very fast.
This is the way we clean the glass,
All day long.
All day long!
This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed at home.
This little piggy has roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home.
