ITTLE Jack Jingle,

He used to live single:

But when he got tired of this kind of life,

He left off being single, and lived with his wife.

ITTLE Jenny Wren fell sick upon a time,

When in came Robin Redbreast and brought her sops and wine, "Eat, Jenny, drink, Jenny, all shall be thine!"

Thank you, Robin, kindly, you shall be mine."

Then Jenny Wren got better, and stood upon her feet,

And said to Robin Redbreast, "I love thee not a bit."

Then Robin he grew angry, and jumped

upon a twig,

Hoot upon thee! fie upon thee! you bold Fizgig!"

ITTLE Miss Muffet
She sat on a tuffet,
Eating of curds and whey;
There came little spider,
Who sat down beside her,

And frighten'd Miss Muffet away.

ITTLE Nan Etticoat
In a white petticoat
And a red nose;
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.

ITTLE Robin Redbreast sat

upon a tree,

Up went Pussy-cat, and down
went he;

Down came Pussy-cat, and away
Robin ran:

Says little Robin Redbreast, "Catch me if you can."

Little Robin Redbreast jump'd upon a wall.

Pussy-cat jump'd after him, and almost got a fall.

Little Robin chirp'd and sang, and what did Pussy say

Pussy-cat said "Mew," and Robin hopp'd away.

ITTLE Tom Tucker
Sings for his supper :
What shall he eat?
White bread and butter.
How shall he cut it
Without e'er a knife?
How will he be married
Without e'er a wife?

ONDON Bridge is broken down,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
London Bridge is broken down,
With a gay lady.

How shall we build it up again?
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
How shall we build it up again ?
With a gay lady.

Build it up with silver and gold, Dance o'er my Lady Lee; Build it up with silver and gold, With a gay lady.

Silver and gold will be stole away,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
Silver and gold will be stole away,
With a gay lady.

Build it up again with iron and steel,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;

Build it up with iron and steel,
With a gay lady.

Iron and steel will bend and break,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;

Iron and steel will bend and break,
With a gay lady.

Build it up with wood and clay,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
Build it up with wood and clay,
With a gay lady.

Wood and clay will wash away,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
Wood and clay will wash away,
With a gay lady.
