OVER IN THE MEADOW
Over in the meadow, in the sand in the sun
Lived an old mother toady and her little toadie one
“Wink,” said the mother, “I wink” said the one
So they winked and they blinked in the sand in the sun.
Over in the meadow, where the stream runs blue
Lived an old mother fish and her little fishes two
“Swim!” said the mother, “We swim” said the two
So they swam and they leaped where the stream runs blue.
Over in the meadow, in a hole in a tree
Lived an old mother bluebird, and her little birdies three
“Sing!” said the mother, “We sing!” said the three
So they sang and were glad in a hole in the tree.
Over in the meadow, in the reeds on the shore
Lived an old mother muskrat and her little ratties four
“Dive!” said the mother, “We dive!” said the four
So they dived and they burrowed in the reeds on the shore.
Over in the meadow, in a snug beehive
Lived a mother honey bee and her little bees five
“Buzz!” said the mother, “We buzz!” said the five
So they buzzed and they hummed in the snug beehive.
Over in the meadow, in a nest built of sticks
Lived a black mother crow and her little crows six
“Caw!” said the mother, “We caw!” said the six
So they cawed and they called in their nest built of sticks.
Over in the meadow, where the grass is like heaven
Lived a nice mother cricket and her little crickets seven
“Chirp!” said the mother, “We chirp!” said the seven
So they chirped cheery noises in the grass just like heaven.
Over in the meadow, by the old mossy gate
Lived an brown mother lizard and her little lizards eight
“Bask!” said the mother, “We bask!” said the eight
So they basked in the sun by the old mossy gate.
Over in the meadow, where the quiet pools shine
Lived a green mother frog, and her little froggies nine
“Croak!” said the mother, “We croak!” said the nine
So they croaked and they splashed where the quiet pools shine.
Over in the meadow, in a sly little den
Lived a grey mother spider, and her little spiders ten
“Spin!” said the mother, “We spin!” said the ten
So they spun lacy webs in their sly little den.
LULLABY
Lullaby, lullaby
Do not wake and weep
Softly in the cradle lie
Sleep, oh sleep
Softly in the cradle lie
Sleep, my darling, sleep.
WHERE IS THUMBKIN?
Where is Thumbkin?
Where is Thumbkin?
Here I am, here I am
How are you today sir?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away

LITTLE GREEN FROG
“Gung, gung”
Went the little green frog one day
“Gung, gung”
Went the little green frog
“Gung, gung”
Went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went “Aah, Aah, Gung!”
LITTLE CABIN IN THE WOODS
Little cabin in the woods
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit hopping by
Knocking at the door
“Help me! Help me!” he said
“Or the hunter will shoot me dead”
“Come little rabbit, come inside”
Happy we will be.
BABY BIRD
Here’s a baby birdie
He’s hatching from his shell
Out comes his head
And then comes his tail
Now his legs he stretches
His wings he gives a flap
Then he flies and flies and flies
What do you think of that?
Down, down, down, down, down
down, down, down-BOOM!
TEDDY BEAR
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Turn around
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Touch the ground
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Show your shoe
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
That will do.
(verse two)
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Go upstairs,
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Say your prayers
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Switch off the light
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Say ‘Good Night.”
SIX LITTLE DUCKS
Six little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Down the river they would go
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Home from the river they would come
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble ho-hum-hum
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
HICKORY DICKORY DOCK
Hickory, dickory, dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory, dickory, dock
I HAD A LITTLE NUT TREE
I had a little nut tree
Nothing it would bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
The king of Spain’s daughter
Came to visit me
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree.
HUSH LITTLE BABY
Hush little baby, don’t say a word
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring gets broke
Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat don’t pull
Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over
Papa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won’t bark
Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart fall down
You’ll still be the sweetest baby in town.
SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP
Sleep, baby, sleep
Your father tends the sheep
Your mother shakes the dreamland tree
Down falls a little dream for thee
Sleep, baby, sleep
