GOING TO BED
Go to bed late,
Stay very small;
Go to bed early,
Grow very tall.
WEE WILLIE WINKIE
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown.
Rapping at the window, crying at the lock,
Are the children now in bed, for now it's eight o' clock?
BOY BLUE
Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
No, not I,
For if I do,
He's sure to cry.
THE MOCKING BIRD
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's going to buy you a mocking bird.
If the mocking bird don't sing,
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If the diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass.
If the looking-glass gets broke,
Papa's going to buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat runs away,
Papa's going to you another today.
STAR LIGHT
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
BOYS AND GIRLS COME OUT TO PLAY
Boys and girls come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day.
Leave your supper and leave your sleep,
And join your playfellow in the street.
Come with a whoop and come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A half-penny loaf will serve us all;
You find milk, and I'll find flour,
And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.
