As I was walking down the street,

down the street, down the street

A pretty girl I chanced to meet

High-ho, high-ho, high-ho

A rig-a-jig jig and away we go,

away we go, away we go,

A rig-a-jig jig and away we go,

High-ho, high-ho, high-ho

One, two, three, four, five

Once I caught a fish alive

Six, seven eight, nine ten

Then I left him go again

Why did you let him go?

‘Cause he bit my finger so

What finger did he bite?

This little finger on my right

An elephant goes like this and that

He’s terribly big, and he’s terribly fat

He has no fingers, he has no toes,

But goodness gracious, what a nose!

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands (twice)

If you’re happy and you know it

And you really want to show it,

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you’re angry and you know it, stamp your feet (twice)

If you’re angry and you know it

And you really want to show it,

If you’re angry and you know it, stamp your feet.

If you’re sleepy and you know it, nod your head (twice)

If you’re sleepy and you know it

And you really want to show it,

If you’re sleepy and you know it, nod your head.

If you’re proud and you know it, stride about (twice)

If you’re proud and you know it

And you really want to show it,

If you’re proud and you know it, stride about.

I like to sing, I like to sing, sing, sing (repeat twice)

So come and sing with me.

I like to clap, I like to clap and sing (repeat twice)

So clap and sing with me.

I like to stomp, I like to stomp and sing (repeat twice)

So stomp and sing with me

So stomp and sing with me.

Skip to my lou my darling

I’ll find another one better than you (repeat twice)

Skip to my lou my darling

Lou, lou, skip to my lou (repeat twice)

Skip to my lou my darling

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are.

How does a caterpillar go?

Dear me, does anybody know?

How does a caterpillar go?

On a cabbage leaf the whole day long?

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick

So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick,

The doctor came with his bag and his hat

And he knocked on the door with a rat-ta-ta-tat

He looked at the dolly and he shook his head,

He said Miss Polly put her straight to bed

He wrote on the paper for a pill, pill, pill

I’ll be back in the morning yes I will, will, will

Three cheeky monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head.

Mother called the doctor, and the doctor said,

‘Two cheeky monkeys jumping on the bed’.

Two cheeky monkeys, jumping on the bed.

One fell off and bumped his head.

Mother called the doctor and the doctor said,

‘One cheeky monkey jumping on the bed’.

One cheeky monkey jumping on the bed.

One fell off and bumped his head.

Mother called the doctor and the doctor said,

‘No cheeky monkeys jumping on the bed’.

London Bridge is falling down,

Falling down, falling down.

London Bridge is falling down,

My fair lady.

Heigh-di, heigh-di-ho

the great big elephant is so low.

Heigh-di, heigh-di-ho

the elephant is so slow.

He swings his trunk from side to side

as he takes the children for a ride.

Heigh-di, heigh-di-ho

the elephant is so slow.

Let everyone clap hands with me

It’s easy, as easy can be

Let everyone join in the game.

You’ll find that it’s so entertain

[or you can sing: ‘You’ll find that it’s always the same’.].

Put on de skillet, put on de lead,

Are you sleeping?

Brother John

Morning bells are ringing

Ding, dang, dong.

I’m a peanut small and brown

Lying on the cold hard ground

Everybody steps on me

I’m as cracked as I can be

I’m a nut, in a rut

Such a nut, in a rut.

Bell horses, bell horses what time of day?

1 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 and away

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

Knees and toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

Knees and toes

And eyes and ears, and mouth and a nose

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

Knees and toes.

Oh we can play on the big bass drum

And this is the music to it

Boom, boom, boom goes the big bass drum

And that is the way to do it.

I have a dog his name is Rags

He eats so much that his stomach sags

His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags

And when he walks he zigs and zags

Flip, flop, wig, wag, zig, zag

Flip, flop, wig, wag, zig, zag

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream.

Everybody come here, come here, come here

Everybody come here, come to me.

Everybody sit down, sit down, sit down

Everybody sit down, over there.

Down in the station

Early in the morning

See the little puffa trains

All in a row

See the engine driver

Pull the little handle,

Choof, choof, choof

And off we go

The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell,

Heigh-ho the derry-oh, the famer in the dell

The farmer takes the wife, The farmer takes the wife

Heigh-ho the derry-oh, the farmer takes the wife

The wife takes the child, the wife takes the child,

Heigh-ho the derry-oh, the wife takes the child

The child takes the nurse, the child takes the nurse,

Where are the bees?

Hiding away

where nobody sees.

See them come creeping, out of the hive

One and two and three, four, five.
