Mairzy Doats

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddlely divey too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddlely divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey,
Sing "mares eat oats and does eat oats
And little lambs eat ivy."

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddlely divey too, wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddlely divey too, wouldn't you?
A kiddlely divey too, wouldn't you?

The Daring Young Man
On The Flying Trapeze

Oh, once I was happy
But now I'm forlorn,
Like an old coat
That is tattered and torn.
I'm left in this wide world
To weep and to mourn,
Betrayed by a maid in her teens.

Now this girl that I loved,
She was handsome,
And I tried all I knew her to please.
But I never could please her one quarter so well,
As that man on the flying trapeze -- OH!

He flies through the air
With the greatest of ease,
This daring young man
On the flying trapeze.
His movements are graceful,
All girls he does please,
And my love he has purloined away.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.

Everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,
School one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb in school.

Michael Finnegan

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chinnegan
They fell out and then grew in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pinnegan
Caught a fish and dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He grew fat and then grew thin again
Then he died and had to begin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan Begin again.

Michael Row the Boat Ashore

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

My brothers and sisters are all aboard, hallelujah
My brothers and sisters are all aboard, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

The river is deep and the river is wide, hallelujah
Milk and honey on the other side, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Jordan's river is chilly and cold, hallelujah
Chills the body but warms the soul, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Minnie and Winnie
Lord Alfred Tennyson

Minnie and Winnie
Slept in a shell.
Sleep, little ladies!
And they slept well.

Pink was the shell within,
Silver without;
Sounds of the great sea
Wandered about.

Sleep, little ladies!
Wake not soon!
Echo on echo
Dies to the moon.

Two bright stars
Peeped into the shell.
"What are they dreaming of?
Who can tell?"

Startled a green linnet
Out of the croft;
Wake, little ladies!
The sun is aloft.

Miss Mary Mack

Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.

They jumped so high, high, high
They reached the sky, sky, sky
And they didn't come back, back, back
'Til the 4th of July, ly, ly!

The Mockingbird Song
(Hush, Little Baby)

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Moon, So Round and Yellow

Moon, so round and yellow,
Looking from on high,
How I love to see you
Shining in the sky.

Oft and oft I wonder,
When I see you there,
How they get to light you,
Hanging in the air;

Where you go at morning,
When the night is past,
And the sun comes peeping
O'er the hills at last.

Sometimes I will watch you
Slyly overhead,
When you think I'm sleeping
Snugly in my bed.

Mother's Song

There's not a rose where'er I seek
As comely as my baby's cheek.
There's not a comb of honey-bee,
So full of sweets as babe to me.
And it's O! sweet, sweet! and a lullaby.

There's not a star that shines on high,
Is brighter than my baby's eye.
There's not a boat upon the sea,
Can dance as baby does to me.
And it's O! sweet, sweet! and a lullaby.

No silk was ever spun so fine
As is the hair of baby mine.
My baby smells more sweet to me
Than smells in spring the elder tree.
And it's O! sweet, sweet! and a lullaby.

Mrs. Murphy's Chowder

Won't you bring back, won't you bring back Mrs. Murphy's chowder?
It was tuneful, every spoonful made you yodel louder
After dinner Uncle Ben used to fill his fountain pen
From a bowl of Mrs. Murphy's chowder

There was ice cream, cold cream, benzine, gasoline
Soup beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beef steak, mistake, stomach ache
Cream puffs, ear muffs, many to be found
Silk hats, door mats, bed slats, Democrats
Cow bells, door bells, beckon you to dine
Meat balls, fish balls, moth balls, cannon balls
Come on in, the chowder's fine!

Won't you bring back, won't you bring back Mrs. Murphy's chowder
It was tuneful, every spoonful made you yodel louder
If they had it where you are, you might find a motor car
In a bowl of Mrs. Murphy's chowder

There was ice cream, cold cream, benzine, gasoline
Soup beans, string beans, floating all around
Sponge cake, beef steak, mistake, stomach ache
Cream puffs, ear muffs, many to be found
Silk hats, door mats, bed slats, Democrats
Cow bells, door bells, beckon you to dine
Meat balls, fish balls, moth balls, cannon balls
Come on in, the chowder's fine!

Mules
Tune: Auld Lang Syne

On mules we find two legs behind
And two we find before
We stand behind before we find
What the two behind be for
When we're behind the two behind
We find what these be for
So stand before the two behind
Behind the two before

My Aunt Came Back

My aunt came back
from Simpson sears
and she brought me back
a pair of shears.

My aunt came back
from the village square
and she brought me back
a rocking chair.

My aunt came back
from Holland too
and she brought me back
a wooden shoe.

My aunt came back
from a hollow tree
and she brought me back
an itchy flea.

My aunt came back
from the city zoo
and she brought me back
SOME NUTS LIKE YOU!

My Bed Is a Boat
Robert Louis Stevenson

My bed is like a little boat;
Nurse helps me in when I embark;
She girds me in my sailor's coat
And starts me in the dark.

At night, I go on board and say
Good night to all my friends on shore;
I shut my eyes and sail away
And see and hear no more.

And sometimes things to bed I take,
As prudent sailors have to do;
Perhaps a slice of wedding cake,
Perhaps a toy or two.

All night across the dark we steer;
But when the day returns at last,
Safe in my room, beside the pier,
I find my vessel fast.

My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean

My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Oh, blow, ye winds, over the ocean.
Oh, blow. ye winds, over the sea.
Oh, blow, ye winds, over the ocean.
And bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow.
Last night as I lay on my bed.
Last night as I lay on my pillow.
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead.

Bring back, bring back.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

The winds have blown over the ocean.
The winds have blown over the sea.
The winds have blown over the ocean.
And brought back my Bonnie to me.

Brought back, brought back.
Oh, brought back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Brought back, brought back.
Oh, brought back my Bonnie to me.

My Dog Rags

I have a dog his name is Rags;
He eats so much his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop his tail wig wags
And when he walks, he walks zig zag

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
I love Rags and he loves me!

My dog Rags he loves to play,
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle, he won't obey,
He always runs the other way.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
I love Rags and he loves me!

Night
William Blake

The sun descending in the west
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.

The moon like a flower
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight,
Sits and smiles on the night.

The Noble Duke Of York

The noble duke of York, he had a 1000 men.
He marched them up a very high hill,
and marched them down again.

And when the're up, they're up
And when the're down, they're down
But when the're half way up,
they're neither up nor down.

Now The Day Is Over
Joseph Barnby

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening,
Steal across the sky.

Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.

Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley Grow

Oh, Dear! What Can the Matter Be?

Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?

He promised to buy me a trinket to please me
And then for a smile, oh, he vowed he would tease me
He promised to buy me a bunch of red roses
To tie up my bonnie brown hair.

Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Johnny's so long at the fair.

A garland of lilies, a gift of red roses
A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons
That tie up my bonnie brown hair.

Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Johnny's so long at the fair.

Old Dan Tucker
Daniel Emmett

Come to town the other night
Heard the noise and saw the fight
Watchman was a-runnin' 'round
Said "Old Dan Tucker's come to town."

So, git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to come to supper.

Old Dan Tucker come to town
Ridin' a billygoat, leadin' a hound
Hound, he barked and the billygoat jumped
Throwed old Dan, he straddled a stump.

So, git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to come to supper.

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel.

So, git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to come to supper.
