One, TwO, Three, F Our, Five
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full.
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
who lives down the lane.

The wheelS On The BuS GO rOund and rOund
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round,
round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
all day long.
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish,
all day long.
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep,
all day long.

Hey! Diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, Dickory Dock.

humpTy dumpTy
Humpty Dumpty
sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty
had a great fall;
All the King’s horses
and all the King’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty
together again.

Itsy BItsy spIder
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Climbed up the water spout;
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain;
And Itsy Bitsy Spider
Climbed up the spout again.

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got and home did trot
As fast as he could caper.
He went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.
