The words and melody were first published together by A. H. Rosewig in (Illustrated National) Nursery Songs and Games, published in Philadelphia in 1879.


Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full.
 
One for my master
And one for the dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

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.

 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.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

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.
 How I wonder what you are.

Itsy Bitsy Spider - lyrics and music video

"Itsy Bitsy Spider" (also known as "Incy Wincy Spider" and several other similiar sounding names) is a popular nursery rhyme that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends, and re-ascends the downspout or "waterspout" of a gutter system (or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot or open-air reservoir).



Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider 
climbed up the waterspout.

Down came the rain
and washed the spider out.


Out came the sun
and dried up all the rain


and the itsy bitsy spider 

climbed up the spout again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
 

All the king's horses and all the King's men
Could not put Humpty together again.


I`m a Little Teapot - lyrics and music video

"The Teapot Song" (commonly known as "I'm a Little Teapot") is an American song describing the heating and pouring of a teapot or more likely a whistling tea kettle (which also has a spout but would be used to pour hot water onto tea bags). The song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley and published in 1939.

I`m a Little Teapot

I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!

I'm a special teapot
Yes, it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my handle into a spout
Just tip me over and pour me out!

The wipers on the bus go 'Swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish...swish, swish, swish!'
The wipers on the bus go 'Swish, swish, swish!'
All day long!

The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep, 

Beep, beep, beep, Beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep,


All day long!

The dor on the bus goes open and close
open and close, open and close .
The dor on the bus goes open and close
All day long!

Five Little Monkeys

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"


Three little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"


Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"


One little monkey jumping on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said: 

"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"


Now there's no little monkeys jumping on the bed.
They`re all jumping on the sofa instead!


 

London Bridge is Falling Down - lyrics and music video

"London Bridge Is Falling Down" (also known as "My Fair Lady" or simply "London Bridge") is a traditional nursery rhyme and singing game, which is found in different versions all over the world. It deals with the depredations of London Bridge and attempts, realistic or fanciful, to repair it. It may date back to bridge rhymes and games of the late Middle Ages, but the earliest records of the rhyme in English are from the seventeenth century.

The lyrics were first printed in close to its modern form in the mid-eighteenth century and became popular, particularly in Britain and the United States in the nineteenth century.


London Bridge is Falling Down

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady.

Built it up with iron bars,
Iron bars, Iron bars
Built it up with iron bars
My fair lady.


Built it up with silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Built it up with silver and gold
My fair lady.

Gold and silver I have none
I have none, I have none
Gold and silver I have none
My fair lady.

London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is a song from the 1964 Disney musical film Mary Poppins. The song was written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. It also appears in the stage show version.
The roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expiali- "to atone", and -docious "educable", with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educability through delicate beauty." According to the film, it is defined as "something to say when you have nothing to say".


"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" 


Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous!
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious,

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Mary Poppins:
When Stone Age men were chatting, merely grunting would suffice.

Bert:
Now if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice!

Mrs. Corry:
I'm sure Egyptian pharoahs would have grasped it in a jiff,
Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph;

Oh!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!

Mary Poppins:
Add some further flourishes, it's so ro-co-co-coscious!

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Bert:
The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths!

Mrs. Corry:
I'm certain the ancient Greeks would have used it in their midst!

Mary Poppins:
I'm sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss,
Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Mary Poppins:
If you say it softly the effect can be hypnoscious!

Bert:
Check your breath before you speak, in case it's halitotious!

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Mary Poppins (spoken):
Of course you can say it backwards, which is Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!

Michael (spoken):
She may be tricky, but she's bloody good!

Mary Poppins:
So when the cat has got your tongue, there's no need for dismay!
Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say!

Bert:
Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well,
And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...

Mary Poppins:
S-u-p-e-r
C-a-l-i-f-
