A candle, acandle,
To light me to bed;
A pillow, a pillow,
To tuck up my head.

The moon is as sleepyas sleepy can be,
The stars are all pointing their fingers at me.
And Missus Hop-Robin, way up in her nest,
Is rocking her tired little babies to rest.

So give me ablanket
To tuck up my toes,
And a little soft pillow
To snuggle my nose.

A cat came fiddling outof a barn,
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.

She could sing nothingbut Fiddle dee dee,
The mouse has married the bumblebee.

Pipe, cat! Dancemouse!
Well have a wedding at our good house.

A diller, a dollar, aten oclock scholar!
What make you come so soon?

You used to come at tenoclock,
Now you come at noon.

A man in thewilderness
Asked this of me,
How many strawberries
Grow in the sea?

I answered him
As I thought good,
As many red herrings
As swim in the wood.

A swarm of bees inMay,
Is worth a load of hay.

A swarm of bees inJune,
Is worth a silver spoon.

A swarm of bees inJuly,
Is not worth a fly.

A-tisket,a-tasket,
A green and yellow basket.
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way I dropped it.

I dropped it, I droppedit,
And, on the way I dropped it.
A little boy picked it up,
And put it in his pocket.

A-tisket,a-tasket,
I've lost my yellow basket.
A little girlie picked it up,
And put it in her pocket.

She took it, she tookit,
My little yellow basket.
And if she doesn't bring it back,
I think that I shall cry.

Alternative (LongVersion)

A-tisket,a-tasket,
A green and yellow basket.
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way I dropped it.

I dropped it, I droppedit,
Yes, on the way I dropped it.
A little girlie picked it up,
And took it to the market.

She was truckin ondown the avenue,
Without a single thing to do.
She was peck, peck, peckin all around,
When she spied it on the ground.

A-tisket,a-tasket,
She took my yellow basket.
And if she doesnt bring it back,
I think that I shall cry.

A-tisket,a-tasket,
A green and yellow basket.
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way I dropped it.

I dropped it, I droppedit,
Yes, on the way I dropped it.
A little girlie picked it up,
And took it to the market.

(Was it red?) No, no,no, no
(Was it brown?) No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket

A Little YellowBasket!!!!

A wise old owl sat inan oak
The more he heard, the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Why arent we all like that wise old bird?

~~~~

After a bath, I try,try, try,
To wipe myself till Im dry, dry, dry.
Hands to wipe, and fingers and toes,
And two wet legs and a shiny nose.
Just think how much less time Id take,
If I were a dog, and could shake, shake, shake!

An apple a day,
Sends the doctor away.

Apple in themorning,
Doctors warning.

Roast apple atnight,
Starves the doctor outright.

Eat an apple going tobed,
Knock the doctor on the head.

Three each day, sevendays a week,
Ruddy apple, ruddy cheek.

As I was going to St.Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

Note:

This rhyme is ariddle.
Do you know how many people were going to St. Ives? Do you know howmany kits, cats, sacks, and wives are going to St. Ives?
Do you know how many altogether are going to St. Ives?

Baa, baa, black sheep,have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for the master, one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Baby dear, good night,good night,
Doggie lies in slumbers deep.

Hush-a-bye, my treasurebright,
Pussy, too, is fast asleep.

Dont you wake them! Ifyou do,
Pups will bark, and Puss will mew.

Go to sleep, and neverfear,
Mother will call when mornings near.
