Bee-o
I love my little girly, her hair is nice and curly,
I love her, I love her, I love her ‘cos she’s mine.
I love my little laddie, he’s just like his Daddy,
I love him, I love him, I love him ‘cos he’s mine.
Bee-o, bee-o, bonny bonny bee-o,
Bee-o, bee-o, bonny babe of mine. x 2
I love my little Flora, and don’t we all adore her,
I love her, I love her, I love her ‘cos she’s mine.
I love my little Billy, he makes me act so silly,
I love him, I love him, I love him ‘cos he’s mine.
Bee-o, bee-o, bonny bonny bee-o,
Bee-o, bee-o, bonny babe of mine. x 2

Over in the Meadow
Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun,
Lived an old mother toadie and her little toadie one.
“Wink” said the mother; “I wink!” said the one,
So they winked and they blinked in the sand in the sun.
Over in the meadow where the stream runs blue,
Lived a slimy mother fish and her little fishes too.
“Swim” said the mother; “We swim!” said the two,
So they swam and they leapt where the stream runs blue.
Over in the meadow in a hole in a tree,
Lived a chirpy mother bluebird and her little birdies three.
“Sing” said the mother; “We sing!” said the three,
So they sang and were glad in the hole in the tree.
Over in the meadow in the reeds on the shore,
Lived a graceful mother swan and her little cygnets four.
“Dunk” said the mother; “We dunk!” said the four,
So they dunked and they splashed in the reeds on the shore.
Over in the meadow in a snug beehive,
Lived a mother honey bee and her little bees five.
“Buzz” said the mother; “We buzz!” said the five,
So they buzzed and they hummed in their snug beehive,
Oh they buzzed and they hummed in their snug beehive,
Yes they buzzed and they hummed in their snug beehive.
Ally Bally
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sitting on your mammy’s knee,
Greetin’ for a wee bawbee,
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
When you grow up you’ll go to sea,
Making pennies for your daddy and me,
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sitting on your mammy’s knee,
Greetin’ for a wee bawbee,
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
Coulter he’s a funny man,
He makes his candy in a pan,
Away you go as fast as you can,
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sitting on your mammy’s knee,
Greetin’ for a wee bawbee,
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
To buy some Coulter’s candy.
The Big Ship Sails
The big ship sails on the ally ally oh,
The ally ally oh, the ally ally oh.
The big ship sails on the ally ally oh,
On the last day of September.
Ally ally oh, ally ally oh,
Ally ally ally oh oh oh,
All ally oh, ally ally oh,

The big storm blew all the sailors off the ship,
Sailors off the ship, sailors off the ship.
The big storm blew all the sailors off the ship,
On the last day of September.
Ally ally oh, ally ally oh,
Ally ally ally oh oh oh,
All ally oh, ally ally oh,

Never ever do, never ever do.
The captain said it would never ever do,
On the last day of September.

The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea,
Bottom of the sea, bottom of the sea.
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea,
On the last day of September.
Ally ally oh, ally ally oh,
Ally ally ally oh oh oh,
All ally oh, ally ally oh,
Ally oh oh oh! x 2
In the Garden (Ladybird)
In the garden, among the flowers and the trees,
There’s a creature flying round with the birds and the bees.
It’s a ladybird, and she flaps her little wings,
It’s a ladybird, and this is what she sings:
Fly low, fly high,
I’m a ladybird flying in the blue, blue sky.
Fly up, fly down,
I’m a ladybird flying all around.
The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The bear went over the mountain x3
To see what he could see.
But all that he could see, all that he could see was…
The other side of the mountain x3
Was all that he could see!
The bear went over the river x3
To see what he could see.
But all that he could see, all that he could see was…
The other side of the river x3
Was all that he could see!
The bear went back to the forest x3
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see, was all his family, the…
Daddy bear and the Mammy bear x3
As happy as could be!
All the Pretty Little Horses
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry,
Go to sleep, my little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays,
Coach and six sweet little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays,
Coach and six sweet little horses. x2
All the pretty little horses.
Twinkle Twinkle
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When it nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Bobby Shafto
Bobby Shafto’s gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee;
He’ll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto’s bright and fair,
Combing down his yellow hair;
He’s my love for evermore,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto’s gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee;
He’ll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto’s getting a bairn,
For to dangle on his arm;
On his arm and on his knee,
Bobby Shafto loves me.
Bobby Shafto’s gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee;
He’ll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto’s looking out,
All his ribbons fly about,
All the ladies gave a shout,
Hurray for Boy Shafto!
Bobby Shafto’s gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee;
He’ll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto,
Bonny Bobby Shafto,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
As I Lay Sleeping
Last night as I lay sleeping, I dreamt that I was floating,
To the Isle of Mann, on a frying pan,
And back again by morning.
Last night as I lay sleeping, I dreamt that I was flying,
To the Isle of Wight on a big red kite,
And back again by morning.
Last night as I lay sleeping, I dreamt that I was soaring,
To the Isle of Skye on an apple pie,
And back again by morning,
And back again by morning,
And back again by morning.
Tingalayo
Tingalayo, come little donkey come,
Tingalayo, come little donkey come!
My donkey talk, my donkey walk,
My donkey eat with a spoon and fork x2
Tingalayo, come little donkey come,
Tingalayo, come little donkey come!
My donkey eat, my donkey sleep,
My donkey kick with his two hind feet x2
Tingalayo, come little donkey come,
Tingalayo, come little donkey come!
My donkey yes, my donkey no,
My donkey come when I tell him go x2
Tingalayo, come little donkey come,
Tingalayo, come little donkey come! x 2
Lavender’s Blue
Lavender’s Blue dilly dilly, lavender’s green,
When I am king dilly dilly, you’ll be my queen.
Who told you so dilly dilly, how can you know?
Twas my own heart dilly dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men dilly dilly, set them to work,
Some to the plough dilly dilly, some to the fork.
Some to make hay dilly dilly, some to cut corn,
While you and I dilly dilly keep ourselves warm.
I love to dance dilly dilly, I love to sing,
When I am queen dilly dilly you’ll be my king.
Who told you so dilly dilly, how can you know?
I told myself dilly dilly, it should be so.
Let the birds sing dilly dilly, let the lambs play,
We will be safe dilly dilly, out of harms way.
Lavender’s green dilly dilly, lavender’s blue,
If you’ll love me dilly dilly, I will love you.
Nursery Rhyme Medley
Oh the Grand Old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up,
And when they were down they were down,
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up nor down.
Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds backed in a pie.
When the pie was open 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,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!
Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick,
So she called for a doctor to be quick, quick, quick,
The doctor came with his bag and his hat,
And he knocked on the door with a rat-a-tat-tat!
He looked at the dolly and he shook his head,
And he said, “Miss Polly put her straight to bed.”
He wrote on the paper for a pill, pill, pill,
I’ll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.
Build it up with wood and clay, wood and clay, wood and clay,
Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady.
There was a man lived on the moon, lived on the moon, lived on the moon,
There was a main lived on the moon and his name was Aiken Drum! x 2
Hush Little Baby
Hush little baby, don’t say a word,
Mama’s gonna buy you a mocking bird,
And if that mocking bird don’t sing,
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring,
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass,
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat,
And if that billy goat won’t pull,
Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull,
And if that cart and pull turn over,
Mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover,
And if that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart,
And if that horse and cart fall down…
Then you’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
