One, two, buckle my shoe,
Three, four knock at the door
Five, six, pick up sticks,
Seven, eight, lay them straight
Nine, ten, a big, fat hen,
Eleven, twelve, dig and delve,
Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting
Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen
Seventeen, eighteen, maids in waiting,
Nineteen, twenty, my plate’s empty.
The Big Ship Sails
The big ship sails on the alley alley O
The alley, alley O, the alley, alley O
The big ship sails on the alley, alley O
On the last day of September.
The captain said, “It will never, never do,
Never, never do, never, never do”
The captain said, “It will never, never do”
On the last day of September.
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea,
The bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea.
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea,
On the last day of September.
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea,
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea.
We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea,
On the last day of September.
Oranges and Lemons
Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St Clement’s.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St Martin’s.
When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the bells at Shoreditch.
Pray, when will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.
I’m sure I don’t know,
Says the great bell at Bow.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed.
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head.
Ring a ring of roses

A pocketful of posy’s
Atishoo, Atishoo
They all fall down.

There were 4 in the bed and the little one said,
Roll over, roll over,

There were 3 in the bed, and the little one said,
Roll over, roll over
So they all rolled over and one fell out
There were 2 in the bed, and the little one said,
Roll over, roll over,
So they all rolled over and one fell out
There were none in the bed
So no-one said,
Roll over, roll over
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
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 he bite?
This little finger on my right.

The Window Cleaner Song
“Click” (mime placing a ladder against a wall) go the
ladders
Of the window cleaner man
He runs to the top (jog fast on the spot)
As fast as he can
Polishes the windows to (big arm movement)
Make the shine . . . . . (pause)
And runs back down (loud and fast)
Again in double quick time
I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little teapot, short and stout;
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When the tea is ready, hear me shout,
“Tip me up and pour me out,
Tip me up and pour me out”.
I’m a Little Tractor
I’m a little tractor, blue and red;
Here is my engine, here is my shed.
When the farmer sits down, watch me go,
Chugging up and down each row.
