Ice-lolly
Anonynous
Red rocket
On a stick.
If it shines,
Lick it quick.
Round the edges,
On the top.
Round the bottom,
Do not stop.
Suck the lolly,
Lick your lips.
Lick the sides,
As it drips.
Off the stick,
Quick, quick.
Lick, lick...
Red rocket,
On a stick.
Out in the Garden
Anonynous
Out in the garden, each fine day,
With my ball, I like to play.
I bounce my ball, I bounce my ball,
I bounce my ball, on each fine day.
Out in the garden, each fine day,
With my kite, I like to play.
I fly it high, I fly it high,
I fly it high, on each fine day.
Cobbler-Cobbler
Anonynous
Cobbler-cobbler,
Mend my shoe.
Get it done,
By half-past-two.
Stitch it up.
And stitch it down.
Then I'll give you,
Half-a-crown.
How Does the Corn Go?
Anonynous
How does the corn go? Pop-pop-pop.
How does the knife go? Chop-chop-chop.
How does the water go? Tip-tip-tip.
How does the jam go? Lick-lick-lick.
How does the train go? Chook-chook-chook.
Let's be quiet! Sh... sh... sh...
After a Bath
Anonynous
After a bath, I try, try, try.
To wipe myself
Till I am dry, dry, dry.
Hands to wipe and fingers and toes.
And two wet legs and a shiny nose.
Prickly Porcupine
Prickly the Porcupine was curled up in a ball
Prickly the Porcupine
Was curled up in a ball,
You wouldn’t know an animal
Was lying there at all.
He heard somebody calling
And he tried to have a look,
But found he couldn’t move his head –
Poor Prickly was stuck!
Instead of walking on his legs
He had to roll along,
And tried to find his mummy
To tell her what was wrong.
Now as his head was tucked away
He couldn’t see at all
But just kept right on rolling
Like a spiky little ball.
Against a hollow beech tree
He came at last to rest,
Quite startling a woodpecker
Who there had made its nest.
The bird flew down to Prickly
To see what he could do,
And tried to get him unrolled
In the only way he knew.
His clever beak pecked sharply
At the joining he could see,
Till Prickly uncurled again –
Relieved that he was free.
He thanked the kindly woodpecker
And once more feeling fine,
He scuttled home to mummy –
Now a happy porcupine!
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
Little mouse under her chair
Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?
I've been to London to look at the Queen.
Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.
Chubby Cheeks
Anonynous
Chubby cheeks, dimpled chin.
Rosy lips, teeth within.
Curly hair, very fair.
Eyes are blue, lovely too.
Teacher's pet, is that you?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Up to the Ceiling
Anonynous
Daddy lifts me;
Up to the Ceiling.
Daddy swings me;
Down to the floor.
Daddy! Daddy!
More! More! MORE!
Up to the ceiling;
Down to the floor.
The Elephant
Anonynous
The elephant is so big and fat;
He walks like this, he walks like that.
He has no fingers, he has no toes;
But Oh My! My! What a long nose!
Ernie Elephant and the Little Mouse
Ernie lifted his head, then waggled his ears
Ernie the elephant had great big feet,
And a long curly trunk as well,
His tusks were sharp, his color was grey,
And he'd a very sad tale to tell.
Though he was strong and looked so fierce,
He was really gentle and kind.
But he wanted a friend, large or small,
And never a one could he find.
Till one fine day, when he lay fast asleep,
A little mouse chanced to pass by.
Ernie lifted his head, then waggled his ears,
And lazily opened one eye.
"Hello," said the mouse, "here all alone?"
"Why indeed, yes I am," sighed he.
"I need a good friend." The mouse twitched his nose
And smiled, "Well, how about me?"
Ernie grinned, the mouse beamed,
And together they went, down to the bank of the stream.
They splashed and they splashed to their hearts' content,
Then had tea with strawberries and cream.
I Like the Zoo
-
I like the zoo, I like the zoo.
The lions and the monkeys too.
Elephants so big, giraffe's neck so long,
I like the zoo, I like the zoo.
Tiger's stripes yellow and black.
Tiger's stripes yellow and black.
Camel has a bumpy back.
Camel has a bumpy back.
I like the zoo.
Picnic in Animal Forest
Elephant's eating a cucumber sandwich, While Monkey eat sweets in the coconut tree
They are having a picnic in Animal Forest,
The guests were invited by Zebra, you see.
And Elephant's eating a cucumber sandwich
While Monkey eat sweets in the coconut tree.
Miss Kangaroo's filling her pouch with a plateful
Of cakes for the young ones to eat with their paws,
And baby Hippo is covered with jelly-
How he had such an accident, he's really not sure!
King Lion is licking an ice-cream,
With a sun-hat sitting on top of his head,
And Camel is chewing a trifle, while waiting
For Bear to climb out of the strawberry bed.
They're having a picnic in Animal Forest,
The guests were invited by Zebra, you see,
And even if some of their manners are lacking
I do wish I'd been invited to tea!
Seashore Antics
The mussel wriggled forwards, And ploughed up half the land
A crab was walking sideways,
An octopus said, "Why,
That crab is walking sideways,
I think I'll have a try."
An eel was wriggling forwards,
A mussel wondered why
That eel was wriggling forwards-
He thought he would have a try.
A flying fish was flying,
A porpoise said, "Oh, my,
That flying fish is flying,
I think I'd like to try."
The octopus walked sideways,
And fell upon the sand;
The mussel wriggled forwards,
And ploughed up half the land;
The porpoise started flying,
And fell into the sea,
But everyone was happy,
Because they'd tried, you sea!
A Whale of a Tale
There on the beach crowds of people came down
Enjoying his life far out in the sea,
Walter the Whale was so glad to be free.
He just swam about in the waves all the day-
Sometimes he'd turn over and send up some spray.
When he wanted some fun, after fish he would chase,
Or challenge a sea-horse to have a long race.
Then one day some sailors caught Walter asleep,
And soon hauled him out of the watery deep.
When Walter awoke he was very upset,
To find himself caught in a tight-woven net.
There on the beach crowds of people came down,
To see a live whale come ashore in their town.
A tank was provided to put Walter in,
And folks paid a shilling to touch the whale's fin.
Poor Walter was gloomy and soon he got thinner,
One night came a boy who felt sad for the whale,
Who hardly had room to flick round his large tail.
When no one was looking he broke up the glass
And Walter fell out on the sand with a crash.
He slithered along till he came to the sea
How happy he was once again to be free.
He swam far away from the lights on the shore,
Vowing he'd never be caught any more.
The Caterpillar Story
It started working steadily, To weave a tight cocoon
Underneath the cabbages the caterpillar sat.
Drowsing in the sunshine
It thought of this and that.
I led a rather lazy life
Just lying there in style-
When hungry it just nibbled
At the cabbage for a while.
Now, caterpillars have to change
And one day very soon,
It started working steadily
To weave a tight cocoon.
Within this cozy shell it stayed
As days and nights went by.
Then suddenly a split appeared,
Out came a butterfly!
No longer was it lazy
Now it had a pair of wings,
It danced upon the roses
And on many other things.
A lovely little butterfly
Of black and white and red,
Flitting in the sunshine
Till it was time for bed.
The Cock Crows in the Morn
The way to be healthy, And wealthy and wise
The cock crows in the morn
To tell us to rise,
And he that lies late
Will never be wise:
For early to bed,
And early to rise,
Is the way to be healthy,
And wealthy and wise.
The Boat Race
Even hippo had a bun to take away
They are cheering on the shore
As each panda takes his oar;
They are gathered by the river for the race.
But the starter waves his flag
And a boat beings to sag,
For the elephants are filling every place!
But they keep themselves afloat
In their wobbly little boat,
And are past the panda crew around the creek.
But then nosy Mrs. Stork
Interrupts them for a talk
And they find their boat has sprung a leak;
As they bumped against a bank,
It was quite clear they had sank-
But a hippo thought he had have a little joke;
With their boat upon his back,
He soon kept them on their track,
And they didn't even have to make a stroke!
But this wasn't really fair-
There were boos from everywhere,
As they passed the panda boat without a care.
Then the hippo had a fall
And a cheer went up from all,
For they fell into the water then and there!
So the pandas won the day
And were winners all the way
They rowed towards the finish for their prize.
It was given to their cox,
Who was wily Mr. Fox,
He said: "Oh, what a wonderful surprise."
For it was a picnic tea
Laid upon the grass, you see,
For the panda crew and Fox to share that day.
And the elephants who sunk
Had some biscuits in each trunk-
Even hippo had a bun to take away!
The Blackbird
Lots of plums to make me merry
My beak is yellow,
My feathers are black,
I'm a cheery fellow
Who answers you back.
High in the tree
I sing my song,
I'm glad to be free,
The whole day long.
I like crumbs,
Or a juicy red berry;
And lots of plums
To make me merry.
I am a blackbird
So happy and gay,
And I hope you've heard
My songs each day.
Two Little Dicky Birds
Anonynous
Two little dicky birds,
Sitting on the wall.
One named Peter,
One named Paul.
Fly away Peter,
Fly away Paul.
Come back Peter,
Come back Paul.
