- Cecily Parsley lived in a pen,
- And brewed good ale for gentlemen;
|
|
- Gentlemen came every day,
- Till Cecily Parsley ran away.
|
|
- Goosey, goosey, gander,
- Whither will you wander?
- Upstairs and downstairs,
- And in my lady's chamber!
|
|
- This pig went to market;
- This pig stayed at home
|
|
- This pig had a bit of meat;
|
|
- And this pig had none;
|
|
- This little pig cried;
- Wee! wee! wee!
- I can't find my way home.
|
|
- Pussy-cat sits by the fire;
- How should she be fair?
- In walks the little dog,
- Says "Pussy! are you there?"
|
|
- "How do you do, Mistress Pussy?
- Mistress Pussy, how do you do?"
- "I thank you kindly, little dog,
- I fare as well as you!"
|
|
- Three blind mice, three blind mice,
- See how they run!
- They all run after the farmer's wife,
- And she cut off their tails with a carving knife,
- Did you ever see such a thing in your life
- As three blind mice!
|
|
- Bow, wow, wow!
- Whose dog art thou?
- "I'm little Tom Tinker's dog,
- Bow, wow, wow!"
|
|
- We have a little garden,
- A garden of our own,
- And every day we water there
- The seeds that we have sown.
|
|
- We love our little garden,
- And tend it with such care,
- You will not find a faded leaf
- Or blighted blossom there.
|
|
- Ninny nanny netticoat,
- In a white petticoat,
- With a red nose,--
- The longer she stands,
- The shorter she grows.
