So please don't take my sunshine away

Three men in a tub
And who do you think they be?

The butcher
(tickle under left arm)

The baker
(tickle under right arm)

The candlestick maker
(tickle baby's tummy)

And out they jumped all three
(lift baby up)

That looks after the sheep
(Hand over eyes - look around)

He's under the haystack,
Fast asleep.

And one for the little boy
Who lives in the lane.

Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full.

Can you tie them in a bow?
(tie an invisible bow)

Can you throw them over your shoulder
(toss something over your shoulder)

Like a continental soldier
(salute)

Do your ears hang low? (tug at earlobes)

Apple seed and apple thorn

Wire, briar, limber lock,

Three geese in a flock.

One flew east,

And one flew west,

And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice,

Three blind mice,

See how they run!

See how they run!

They all ran after the farmer's wife,

Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,

Did you ever see such a sight in your life,

As three blind mice?

Ring Around the Rosie

Ring around the rosie,

Pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes

We all fall down.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow;

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day,

That was against the rule;

It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,

But still it lingered near,

And waited patiently about

Till Mary did appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

The eager children cry.

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"

The teacher did reply.

Little Jack Horner

Sat in a corner,

Eating his Christmas pie;

He put in his thumb,

And pulled out a plum,

And said, "What a good boy am I!"

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the kings horses,

And all the kings men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Peas Porridge hot,
(clap hands in rhythm)

Peas Porridge cold,

Peas Porridge in the pot
(cup hands to make pot)

Nine days old.

Some like it hot,
(cup one hand, dip hand from other hand into, pretend eating)

Some like it cold,

Some like it the pot
(cup hands again)

Nine days old.
