Second lineFirst line
Its fleece was white as snow
The beggars are coming to town
I, said the Sparrow
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Your house is on fire and your children all gone
How does your garden grow?
Agreed to have a battle
Were fighting for the crown
Gently by the stream
A pocket full of rye
On the tree top
Had a wife but couldn't keep her
She made some tarts
Three, four knock at the door
Kitty Fisher found it
Nothing would it bear
His wife could eat no lean
And doesn't know where to find them
Went to bed with his trousers on
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Second lineFirst line
In a shower of rain
The cat and the fiddle
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Born on a Monday
Silver buckles at his knee
The old man is snoring
Jacky shall have a new master
A pocket full of posies
Three men in a tub
The first star I see tonight
Was a merry old soul
Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief
The mouse ran up the clock
Went to the cupboard
He had ten thousand men
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
'You owe me five farthings' say the bells of St Martin's
Whither shall I wander?
Going to the fair
To fetch a pail of water
