My pretty doll
Is very small
I
love my pretty
Little doll.

There was a little girl
And she had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good she was very, very good.
But when she was bad, she was horrid.

When the weather is wet
We must not fret.
When the weather is cold
We must not scold
When the weather is warm
We must not storm,
But be joyful together,
Whatever the weather.

Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Ill on Thursday,
Worse
on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
That was the end
Of Solomon Grundy.

Good morning, good morning
Good morning to you.
Good morning, good morning,
I am glad to see you.

My dear, dear mummy,
I love you very much.

On the 8

Be happy, be happy
On the 8
th
of March
Be happy, be happy
On the 8
th
of March

Thirty days have
September,
April, June and November,
All the
rest have thirty-one;
February has twenty-eight alone,
Excepting leap-year, that’s the time
When February’s days are twenty-nine.

Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat.
Can you catch
That big fat rat?
If you catch,
That bad fat rat,
You will have some milk for that.
