"A bridge engineer, Mr. Crumpett..."
A bridge engineer, Mr. Crumpett,
Built a bridge for the good River Bumpett.

Left a gap in the span,
But he said, “Well, they'll just have to jump it.”

A cat came dancing
A cat came dancing out of the barn,
With a fiddle under her arm.
She could play nothing but fiddle-cum-fee,
The mouse has married the bumble bee.
Play cat, dance mouse,
We'll have a jig in our good house,
Play cat, dance mouse,
We'll have a jig in our good house.
"A peanut sat on a railroad track..."
A peanut sat on a railroad track,
His heart was all a-flutter.
The five-fifteen came rushing by -
Toot toot! Peanut butter!
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea,
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea,
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
A Wise Old Owl
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it,
I dropped it,

And on the way I dropped it.
A little boy he picked it up and put it in his pocket.
Aiken Drum
There was a man lived in the moon, lived in the moon, lived in the moon,
There was a man lived in the moon,
And his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle,
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his hat was made of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese,
And his hat was made of good cream cheese,
And his name was Aiken Drum.

I saw a black man upon a black horse;
They told me it was King Charles the First-
Oh dear, my heart was ready to burst!
