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.

The English lyrics were first written as a poem by Jane Taylor (1783–1824)
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" (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.

Could not put Humpty together again.
"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!
