How many miles to Babylon?
Three score miles and ten.
Can I get there by candle-light?
Yes, and back again.
If your heels are nimble and light,
You may get there by candle-light.

How large unto the tiny fly
Must little things appear!
A rosebud like a feather bed,
Its prickle like a spear;
A dewdrop like a looking-glass,
A hair like golden wire;
The smallest grain of mustard seed
As fierce as coals of fire;
A loaf of bread, a lofty hill;
A wasp, a cruel leopard;
And specks of salt as bright to see
As lambkins to [...]

Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
One a penny two a penny – Hot cross buns
If you have no daughters, give them to your sons
One a penny two a penny – Hot cross buns

There was a little woman, as I’ve been told,
Who was not very young, nor yet very old;
Now this little woman her living got
By selling codlins, hot, hot, hot!

Horsey horsey don’t you stop
Just let your feet go clippetty clop
The tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddy up, we’re homeward bound

For want of the nail the shoe was lost;
For want of the shoe the horse was lost;
For want of the horse the rider was lost;
For want of the rider the battle was lost;
For want of the battle the kingdom was lost;
And all for the want of a horse shoe nail.

“Good Mister Smith, I’ve come to you,
Because my horse has lost his shoe.”
“Pray, sir, how did he do it?”
“Why, riding with the hounds one day,
He kicked in such a vicious way,
That then I think he threw it.”
“For ever since he’s been quite lame,
So broken-spirited and tame,
He scarce can whisk his tail.”
“Well, Master John, I can’t [...]

Hop a little, jump a little,
One two, three;
Run a little, skip a little,
Tap one knee;
Bend a little, stretch a little,
Nod your head;
Yawn a little, sleep a little,
In your bed.

The honey bee is sad and cross
And wicked as a weasel
And when she perches on your boss
She leaves a little measle.
I wish I was a little grub
With whiskers round my tummy,
I’d climb into a honey pot
And make my tummy gummy.

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;
A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere.
Home! Home! sweet Home!
There’s no place like Home, there’s no place like Home!
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain;
O, give [...]
