Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey, diddle, diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Five Little Piggies

(This is played by squeezing each of baby's toes one at a time. Piggy = toe)

This little piggy went to market.

This little piggy stayed at home.

This little piggy had roast beef.

This little piggy had none.

This little piggy cried

"Wee, wee, wee, wee!"

All the way home.

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester

In a shower of rain.

He stepped in a puddle

Right up to his middle,

And never went there again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again!

*Humpty Dumpty was a big cannon during the English Civil War (1642-49). It was on top of the St Mary's-at-the-Wall Church in Colchester defending the city. The church tower was hit by the enemy and was destroyed, sending "Humpty" falling to the ground. The King's Men tried to mend the cannon, but in vain. The "King's men" were the infantry, and "King's Horses" were the cavalry.

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

And can't tell where to find them.

Leave them alone, And they'll come home,

Wagging their tails behind them.

Jack and Jill

Went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down

And broke his crown

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got

And home did trot

As fast as he could caper

He went to bed

And plastered his head

With vinegar and brown paper.
