NURSERY RHYMES FOR DADDY !
Hushabye, babby, lie still with thy daddy, Thy mammy has gone to the mill To get some wheat, to make some meal, So pray, my dear babby, lie still.
If you are to be a gentleman, As I suppose you be, You'll neither laugh nor smile For a tickling of the knee.
Peter White will ne'er go right; Would you know the reason why? He follows his nose wherever he goes, And that stands all awry.
I have a little husband and he is two feet four; So he can reach the knocker, and ring at our front door. But when we want our dinner he must take it down himself;
It's really very awkward when a wife can't reach the shelf. Perhaps I shall grow bigger but this I surely know: I cannot love him dearer if I grow, and grow, and grow!
Hush baby, my dolly, I pray you don't cry, And I'll give you some bread and some milk by and by: Or perhaps you like custard, or maybe a tart? Then to either you're welcom, with all my heart.
I often sit and wish that I could be a kite up in the sky, And ride upon the breeze, and go whatever way it chanced to blow; Then I could look beyond the town, and see the river winding down, follow all the ships that sail,Like me, before the merry gale, Until at last with them I came to some place with a foreign name.
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Cock-a-doodle-doo! My dame has lost her shoe; My master's lost his fiddling-stick, And don't know what to do.
Cock-a-doodle-doo! What is my dame to do? Till master finds his fiddling-stick, She'll dance without her shoe.
Cock-a-doodle-doo! My dame has lost her shoe, And master's found his fiddling-stick; Sing doodle-doodle-doo!
I Love Little Pussy
I love little pussy, her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm;
I won't pull her tail, nor drive her away,
But pussy and I together will play.
Old King Cole
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he. He called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three.
Now every fiddler, had a fine fiddle, And a very fine fiddle had he.
Twee, tweedle, dee, Tweedle, dee, dee, Went the fiddlers three, There's none so rare, that can compare with King Cole and his Fiddlers three.
Oh there's none so rare That can compare, With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
One, two, three, four, five, Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let him go again.
.
Why did you let him go,
Because he bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite,
This little finger on my right.

It is
always wise to check through all the video clips in the Menu for
sometimes the odd strange one can get through and you mightn't want
your littlest ones to see it. The same applies to all video links
really. What amuses some cultures does not always amuse others. xxx
PORRIDGE
I don't like porridge, Skinny and brown; Waiting for breakfast, When I com down - Whatever happens, However late, Porridge is always Sure to wait!
Nobody steals it, They clear the dish Of eggs and bacon, Or cheese, or fish; They eat the butter, And take the tea, And all the good things Meant for me.
BUT Whatever happens, However late, Porridge is always Sure to wait!
I believe this poem to be written by Elizabeth Fleming in the Children's Companion circa 1920's
Pop Goes the Weasel
'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench The monkey chased the weasel, The monkey thought 'twas all in fun Pop! Goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread A penny for a needle, That's the way the money goes, Pop! Goes the weasel.
A half a pound of tupenny rice, A half a pound of treacle. Mix it up and make it nice, Pop! Goes the weasel.
Up and down the London road, In and out of the Eagle, That's the way the money goes, Pop! Goes the weasel. I've no time to plead and pine, I've no time to wheedle, Kiss me quick and then I'm gone Pop! Goes the weasel.
What does "pop goes the weasel" mean? --Birdaire, via AOL
Dear Birdaire:
Who knows? It's basically a folk song and nursery rhyme that later saw service as a
music-hall ditty. It's tough enough deciphering rock lyrics written in 1975; what do you
expect with a tune going back to the 17th century? But Straight Dope curator of music Tom
Miller said he'd give it his best shot.
Tom collected two dozen versions of "Pop Goes the Weasel" from both sides of the
Atlantic. Many were similar, with one key difference: in North America, the opening line
was generally "all around the mulberry bush," possibly due to conflation with
the similar tune "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush." In the UK, however, it
was usually "all around the cobbler's bench." This gives us a better idea of the
song's original meaning. Most authorities think "Pop Goes the Weasel" describes
the acts of weaving, spinning, and sewing. A weasel, Tom reports, was a mechanism used by
tailors, cobblers, and hatters that "popped" when the spool was full of thread.
Toby Bucket is Hiding, I am looking for him everywhere. Shush don't frighten him.
Wow, I have found him look. Diddily has built him and Candy a brand new house to live in. Do go and see how they are settling in.
He is here in Seligor's Castle on page 2. You can also find them in Diddily dee dot's Dreamland as well. Would you believe it, Tilly and Sweetie Pie are here as well!

ROCK-A-BYE BABY
Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top!
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall;
Down will come baby, bough, cradle and all.
Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green;
Father's a nobleman, Mother's a queen;
Sister's a lady, who wears a gold ring; And Brother's a drummer, who plays for the king.
Hush-a-bye, baby, way up on high;
Never mind, baby, Mommy is nigh;
Swinging the baby all around --
Hush-a-bye, baby, up hill and down.
A
cat and her kittens ran into a large dog. While the kittens cowered,
the cat let out a series of loud barks, scaring the dog away. Turning to her kittens, the cat said,
"Now do you see how important it is to know a second language!"
Rain, Rain, go Away, come again another day
Rain rain go away, Come again another day Hide your clouds let out the sun Slow the wind, till daylights done.
Rain, rain go away, we all want to play today. When we all are fast asleep Across the night sky, you can creep

Bath Time for Baby
A rubber duck and a sailboat; I watch my bath toys sink and float.
They keep me company in the tub Til Mommy makes me soap and scrub.
I love to take a bath each night, And go to bed all clean and bright. Midi: Bathtime
Inchworm
Inchworm, Inchworm,
Measuring the marigolds, Seems to me you'd stop and see How beautiful they are.
Inchworm, Inchworm, Measuring the marigolds,
You and your arithmetic
Will probably go far.
And that stands all awry.

Do go and see how they are settling in. 
Swinging the baby all around -- 
Rain rain go away, 
come again another day.
