See, saw, Margery DawJack and Jill went up the hill
See, Saw, Margery DawIs John Smith within
Tom, Tom, the Piper's SonHey Diddle Diddle
Dickery, dickery, dockThe Turtle Dove's Nest
There Was a Crooked ManThere was an old crow
Old mother HubbardBah, bah, black sheep
Barber, barber, shave a pigAwa' birds, away
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's manBessy Bell and Mary Gray
A, B, C, tumble down DTwinkle Twinkle Little Star
Doctor FosterDance to your daddy
Poor old Robinson CrusoeOld woman, old woman, shall we go a shearing
Bow, wow, wowThe rose is red, the violet's blue
There was an old woman called Nothing-at-allJack Sprat's pig
Goosey, goosey, gander, whither shall i wanderOh! mother, I shall be married to Mr. Punchinello
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seenThe young linnets
Sing a song of sixpenceGreat A, little A
Handy Spandy, Jack-a-dandyMultiplication is vexation
For every evil under the sunThe Queen of Hearts
Old father GraybeardLittle Tom Tittlemouse
Taffy was a WelshmanLittle girl, little girl, where have you been
Swan swam over the seaDance a baby diddit
Needles and pins, needles and pinsUp Hill, spare me
The diverting history of John GilpinWhere are you going to, my pretty Maid?
There was a little man, and he had a little gunGeorgie Porgie
