Rainbow in the morning, sailors take warning. Rainbow at night, sailors' delight.

Early to bed, and early to rise,

Is the way to be healthy, wealthy and wise.

If all the world were water,

And all the water were ink,

What should we do for bread and cheese?

What should we do for drink?

I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by;
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On New Year's Day in the morning.

And what do you think was in them then, Was in them then, was in them then? And what do you think was in them then, On New Year's Day in the morning?

Three pretty girls were in them then, Were in them then, were in them then; Three pretty girls were in them then,

On New Year's Day in the morning.

And one could whistle, and one could sing,
And one could play on the violin—
And they all came up for my wedding,
On New Year's Day in the morning.

Wire, brier, limber-lock,
Three geese in a flock;

One flew east, and one flew west,
And one flew over the Coo-Coo's nest.

Old King Cole

Was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe,

And he called for his bowl,

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Every fiddler he had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he;
Twee, tweedle dee, tweedle dee,
Went the fiddlers three.

O! there's none so rare as can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
