And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Horsey, Horsey
Horsey, horsey don't you stop
just let your feet go clippety clop,

and the wheels go round,
giddy up, we're homeward bound.

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
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Hush Little Baby
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
Second Verse
Hush little baby mama's near,
To wipe your brow and calm your fears.
To kiss your cheek and hold your hand,
'Til you drift off to sleepyland.
To help you count those little white sheep,
And sing you songs 'til you're asleep.
To tell you tales of kings and queens,
And Jack and Jill and wonderful things.
So snuggle up and hug me tight,
And dream sweet dreams all through the night.
And every night when the sun goes down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
I'm a Little Teapot
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle
When I get all steamed up hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out.
Incy Wincy Spider
Incy wincy spider climbing up the spout
Down came the rain, and washed poor Incy out
Out came the sunshine, and dried up all the rain
So Incy wincy spider climbs up the spout again.
