Dressing up

Humpty Dumpty

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

Cannot put Humpty-Dumpty together again.

Mistress Mary, quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With cockle-shells and silver bells,

And pretty maids all in a row.

Bye, baby bunting,

Daddy's gone a hunting,

He'll never get this rabbit's skin,

To wrap the baby bunting in.

Bye, baby bunting

Little Jack Horner

Sat in the corner,

Eating a Christmas pie;

He put in his thumb,

And he took out a plum,

And said,

"What a good boy am I!"

Old King Cole

Was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he:

He called for his pipe,

And he called for his bowl,

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Every fiddler, he had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he;

Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.

Oh, there's none so rare,

As can compare

With King Cole and his fiddlers three.

Baa, baa, black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes, marry, have I,

Three bags full;

One for my master,

And one for my dame,

And one for the little boy

Who lives in the lane.

Baa, baa, black sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man!

So I will, master, as fast as I can:

Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T, and

Put in the oven for Tommy and me.

Great A, little a,

Bouncing B!

The cat's in the cupboard,

And she can't see.

Great A, little a

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,

Home again, home again, dancing a jig:

Ride to market to buy a fat hog,

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

I love little Pussy, her coat is so warm,

And if I don't hurt her, she'll do me no harm.

I'll sit by the fire, and give her some food,

And Pussy will love me, because I am good.

I love little Pussy

Sometimes nine, And sometimes ten,

Hush-a-bye, baby, on on the tree top,

When the wind blows the cradle will rock;

When the bough bends it never can fall,

Safe is the baby, bough, cradle and all.

Hush-a-bye, baby

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,

She had so many children she didn't know what to do;

She gave them some broth with plenty of bread,

She kissed them all fondly and sent them to bed.

There was an old woman

Poor old Robinson Crusoe!

Poor old Robinson Crusoe!

They made him a coat

Of an old nanny goat

I wonder how they could do so!

With a ring-a-ting tang,

And a ring-a-ting tang,

Poor old Robinson Crusoe!

Rain, rain, go away,

Come again another day;

Little Arthur wants to play.

And so are you.

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow in the corn.

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket

Nineteen times as high as the moon;

Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,

For in her hand she carried a broom.

Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I,

O whither, O whither, O whither so high?

To brush the cobwebs off the sky!

Shall I go with thee? Aye, by-and bye.

There was an old woman

There was an old woman

Ride a cockhorse to Banbury-cross

To see an old lady upon a white horse,

Rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,

And so she makes music wherever she goes.

The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,

All on a summer's day;

The Knave of Hearts, he stole the 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.

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,

And can't tell where to find them;

Leave them alone, and they'll come home,

And bring their tails behind them.

The north wind doth blow,

And we shall have snow,

And what will poor Robin do then?

Poor thing!

He'll sit in a barn,

And to keep himself warm,

Will hide his head under his wing,

Poor thing!

The north wind doth blow

There was an old woman, and what do you think?

She lived upon nothing but victuals and drink:

Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet;

And yet this old woman could never be quiet.

Simple Simon met a pieman,

Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

"Let me taste your ware."

Says the pieman to Simple Simon,

"Show me first your penny."

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

"Indeed I 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.

She sat on a tuffet,

There came a great spider,

Who sat down beside her,

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow;

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

He followed, her to school one day;

That was against the rule;

It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school.

Mary had a little lamb

Mary had a little lamb

And so the teacher turned him out,

But still he lingered near,

And waited patiently about

Till Mary did appear.

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"

The eager children cry.

"Oh, Mary loves the lamb, you know."

The teacher did reply.

And so the teacher turned him out

And so the teacher turned him out

A diller, a dollar,

A ten o' clock scholar,

What makes you come so soon?

You used to come at ten o'clock,

But now you come at noon.

I had a little hobby-horse,

And it was dapple grey;

Its head was made of pea-straw,

Its tail was made of hay.

I sold it to an old woman

For a copper groat;

And I'll not sing my song again

Without a new coat.

I had a little hobby-horse

Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater,

Had a wife, and couldn't keep her;

He put her in a pumpkin-shell.

And there he kept her very well.

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.

The man in the moon,

Came down too soon,

To inquire his way to Norwich.

He went by the south,

And burnt his mouth

With eating cold pease porridge.

Hey! diddle, diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed to see such sport.

And the dish ran after the spoon.

Hey! diddle, diddle

Hey! diddle, diddle

There was a fat man of Bombay,

Who was smoking one sunshiny day,

When a bird called a snipe,

Flew away with his pipe,

Which vexed the fat man of Bombay.

Hark, hark!

The dogs do bark,

Beggars are coming to town;

Some in tags,

Some in rags,

And some in velvet gowns.

Hark, hark

Jack be quick,

And Jack jump over the candle stick.

Went to sea in a bowl,

And if the bowl had been stronger,

My song would have been longer.

Went to bed with his trousers on;

One shoe off, the other shoe on,

My dame has lost her shoe;

My master's lost his fiddle-stick,

And knows not what to do.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
