I’m the king of the castle, get down you dirty rascal,
Get back, go home, depart you dirty rascal!
I’m the king of the castle, get down you dirty rascal,
Get down, get down, I’ll always be king of the castle!
Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run.
They all ran after the teacher’s wife,
Who jumped so high she touched the sky.
Did ever you see such as thing in your life,
As three blind mice, three blind mice?
*
Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the postman’s wife,
Who scuttled away as fast as you like,
Did ever you see such as thing in your life,
As three blind mice, three blind mice?
*
Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run.
They all ran after the policeman’s wife,
He arrested each one as quick as you like.
Did ever you see such as thing in your life,
As three blind mice – in jail?
Whiz-Popping
Half a pound of tuppeny rice,
Half a pound of fine treacle,
Mix it up and eat it all down,
WHIZ-POPPING begins – I’m sorry!
*
Up and down the city road,
To buy a box of Eno’s,
That’s the way the money goes,
WHIZ-POPPING continues – I’m sorry!
*
Half a pound of tuppeny rice,
Half a pound of fine treacle,
I mixed it up and ate it all down,
WHIZ-POPPING persists – I’M SORRY, I REALLY AM SORRY!
How Much is that Doggy in the Window?
How much is that doggy in the window?
The one with the waggily tail.
How much is that doggy in the window?
I do hope that doggy’s for sale.
*
I must take a trip to Australia,
And leave my poor sweetheart at home.
If she has a dog, he’ll keep her busy,
Too busy to fret that I’ve gone.
*
How much is that doggy in the window?
The one with the waggily tail.
How much is that doggy in the window?
I do hope that doggy’s for sale.
I’ve been told by my friends there are rascals,
Who break into houses at night.
If she has a dog he can protect her,
And chase them away with one bite.
*
How much is that doggy in the window?
The one with the waggily tail.
How much is that doggy in the window?
I do hope that doggy’s for sale.
I do hope that doggy’s for sale, woof, woof!
Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey,
There came a big spider that sat down beside her:
She squashed him right away.
*
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
Eating a Christmas pie,
He stuck in his head and promptly fell dead,
Never saying, what a good boy am I.
*
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey,
There came another big spider that sat down beside her:
She squashed him also, HEY HEY.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are,
Up above the world so high,
Past the Milky Way and sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are.
*
Where the blazing sun shines from,
Towards the earth, from way beyond,
Your little light shines on so bright,
Twinkle twinkle all the night,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are.
*
Spaceship travellers in the dark,
Thank you for your tiny spark,
They could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are.
*
In the darkest sky you keep,
So far away yet close, I think,
Guiding us through nights so long,
Until the sun returns anon,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are.
*
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights us travellers in the dark,
Though I know not where you are,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are.
