Man in moon

Offering porridge

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

THE Man in the Moon
Came tumbling down,
And asked his way to Norwich;

Buring mouth

They told him south,
And he burnt his mouth
With eating cold pease-porridge.

The pig

TO MARKET, TO MARKET.

TO market, to market, to buy a fat Pig;
Home again, home again, dancing a jig.

To market

To market, to market, to buy a fat Hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

Buy a hog

Home again

Sneaking off

THERE WAS A MAN.

There was a man, and he had nought,
And robbers came to rob him;

Up the roof

He crept up to the chimney-pot,

AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM

BUT HE GOT DOWN ON T'OTHER SIDE

And then they could not find him;

Looking for him

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.

14 miles

Lion and the Unicorn

THE LION AND THE UNICORN.

The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting for the Crown;
The Lion beat the Unicorn
All round about the town.

Lion beat the unicorn

Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum-cake,
And sent them out of town.

Gave them bread

Eating bread

Miss Muffet | LITTLE MISS MUFFET.
Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet Eating of curds and whey; | Sat on a tuffet

There came a big Spider
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Frightened Miss Muffet

Miss Muffet and the Spider

Spider in the Whey

Goosey, Goosey Gander,
Where shall I wander?

And threw him downstairs.

And one for my Dame,
And one for the little boy
That lives in the lane!

Carrying bags of wool

Went to sea in a bowl:

If the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.
