All Through the Night
Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee,
All through the night;
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night;
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night;
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night;
O’er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night.
Hark, a solemn bell is ringing,
Clear through the night;
You, my love, are heav’nward winging,
Home through the night.
Earthly dust from off thee shaken,
By good angels art though taken;
Soul immortal shalt though waken,
Home through the night.

And that was the end of the monk
The monk, the monk, the monk.

When you hear an awful bore?
Do your ears hang out?

It is really not quite right,
To light night-lights with their slight lights,
On a light night like tonight.

The dog said, “Bow-wow!”

To buy him a wig;

Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze,
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.
Oh he sneezed so hard with the
whooping cough,
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.
He sneezed his head and his tail
right off,
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.
Fare thee well, fare thee well,
fare thee well my fairy Fay
for I’m off to Lou’siana for to see
my Susyanna
sing Polly Wolly Doodle
sing Polly Wolly Doodle
sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the
day.
Pop! Goes the Weasel
‘Round and ’round the cobbler’s bench,
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A half a pound of tupenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
I’ve no time to plead and pine,
I’ve no time to wheedle,
Kiss me quick and then I’m gone,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Pussy – Cat, Pussy – Cat
Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,

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.

Queen of Hearts
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer’s day;
The Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he’d steal no more.

Rock A Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Simple Simon
Simple Simon met a pieman,
Going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
“Let me taste your ware.”
Said the pieman to Simon,
“Show me first your penny”;
Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
“Indeed l have not any.”
Simple Simon went a-fishing,
For to catch a whale;
All the water he had got
Was in his mother’s pail.
He went for water in a sieve,
But soon it all fell through;
And now poor Simple Simon
Bids you all “adieu.”
Sing a Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
Along came a blackbird
And snipped off her nose.
There was such a commotion,
That little Jenny wren;
Flew down into the garden,
and put it back again

Tree Toad
A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad’s heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod.
But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn’t please her whim.
From her tree toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe –
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
“Where are you going, and what do you wish?”
The old moon asked the three.
“we have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!”
Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe, and the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little starts were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea –
“Now cast your nets wherever you wish –
Never afeard are we”;
So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam –
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
‘Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed
As if it could not be,
And some folks thought ‘twas a dream they’d dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea –
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one’s trundle – bed.
So shut your eyes while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be.
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fisherman three:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
Fath’r and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding,
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

A-tisket, a-tasket
una cesta verde y amarilla
envié una carta a mi amor
y por el camino se me cayó
Se me cayó, se me cayó
sí, por el camino se me cayó
una niñita la recogió
y se la puso en el bolsillo
Ella iba bailoteando por la avenida,
sin ninguna cosa que hacer
ella estaba pico-pico-picoteando por ahí
cuando la descubrió en el suelo
Ella la cogió, la cogió
mi cestita amarilla
y si no me la devuelve
creo que deberé morir
Oh, jooo, me pregunto dónde puede estar mi cesta.
(nosotros también, nosotros también, nosotros también, nosotros también)
Oh cariño, espero a esa niñita poder ver.
(nosotros también, nosotros también, nosotros también, nosotros también)
¿Porqué tuve tan poco cuidado, con esa cesta mía?
Esa cestita chiquirritita era mi alegría.
A-tisket, a-tasket

Letra Hush, Little Baby de Child
Calla, pequeño bebé, no diga una palabra,
Mamá te va a comprar a un ruiseñor.
Y si ese sinsonte no canta,
Mamá te va a comprar un anillo de diamantes.
Y si ese anillo de diamantes se vuelve latón,
Mamá te va a comprar un espejo.
Y si ese espejo se rompió,
Mamá te va a comprar un macho cabrío.
Y si ese macho cabrío no se tire,
Mamá te va a comprar un carro y el toro.
Y si ese carro y el toro la vuelta,
Mamá te va a comprar un perro llamado Rover.
Y si ese perro llamado Rover no va a ladrar,
Mamá te va a comprar un caballo y una carreta.
Y si el caballo y el carro se caen,
Usted seguirá siendo la más dulce bebé en la ciudad.

Maria, Maria, tan contraria
María, María, tan contraria
¿Cómo crece tú jardín?
Con campanas de plata y conchitas de mar
Y bellas damas todas en ilera.
María tenía un pequeño corderito
María tenía un pequeño corderito
Su lana era blanca como la nieve
Y todo lugar que María iba,
el corderito la seguía
La seguió a la escuela un día
Eso no estaba permitido
Los niños se reían y jugaban
Al ver el corderito en la escuela.

Palmas, palmitas
Palmas, palmitas,
Panadero,
Hazme un pastelito
Muy, muy rápido,
Hazlo rodar y aplástalo,
Y de una “B”* márcalo
Y ponlo en el horno
Para bebé* y yo.
Pequeña Señorita Muffet
Pequeña Señorita Muffet
sentada en un reposapiés
comiendo su merienda de crema.
Vino una araña
que se sentó al lado de ella

Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle vino en ciudad,
Cabalgado en un poni,
Puso una pluma en su gorra
Y la llamó macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, sigue
Yankee Doodle dandy;
Sea atento a la música y al paso
Y sea hábil con las chicas.
