Birds
of a feather flock together
Birds
of a feather flock together,
And so will pigs and swine;
Rats and mice can have their
choice
And so will I have mine.
Cobbler,
cobbler mend my shoe
Cobbler,
cobbler mend my shoe,
Get it done by half past
two;
Stitch it up and stitch it
down,
Then I'll give you half a
crown.
Dear
! What can the matter be
?
Dear,
dear ! What can the matter
be ?
Two old women got up in an
apple tree;
One came down
And one stayed till Saturday.
For
every evil under the sun
For
every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy,
Or there is none.
If there be one try to find
it,
If there be none, never mind
it.
To
Market, to market
To
market, to market, to buy
a plum cake,
Home again, home again, market
is late;
To market, to market, to
buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market
is done.
Jack
Sprat
Jack
Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;
And so between them both,
They licked the platter clean.

Cackle,
cackle, Mother Goose
Cackle,
cackle, Mother Goose
Have you any feathers loose
?
Truly have I, pretty fellow,
Half enough to fill a pillow.
Here are quills, take one
or two,
And down to make a bed for
you.
Cocks
crow each morning
Cocks
crow each morning to tell
us to rise,
And he who lies late will
never be wise
For early to bed and early
to rise
Is the way to be healthy,wealthy
and wise.
Elizabeth,
Elspeth, Betsy and Bess,
Elizabeth,
Elspeth, Betsy and Bess,
They all went together to
seek a bird's nest;
They found a bird's nest
with five eggs in it,
They all took one and left
four in it.
Georgy
Porgy, pudding and pie
Georgy
Porgy, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made
them cry.
When the boys came out to
play,
Georgy Porgy ran away.
Elsie
Marley
Elsie
Marley has grown so fine,
She won't get up to serve
the swine;
But lies in bed til eight
or nine,
And surely she does take
her time.
Daffy
Down Ditty
Daffy
Down Dity
has come up to town
In a yellow petticoat and
a green gown.
