g hot,
Pease pudding cold,
Pease pudding in the pot,
Nine days old.

Porridge

A little bit of powdered beef,
And a great net of cabbage,
The best meal I have to-day
Is a good bowl of porridge.

Shaving

The barber shaved the mason,
As I suppose cut of his nose,
And popp'd it in a basin.

Captain Duck

I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea;
And, oh! it was all laden
With pretty things for thee.
There were comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the holds;
The sails were made of silk,
And the masts were made of gold.
The four-and-twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four-and-twenty white mice,
With chains about their necks.
The captain was a duck,
With a packet on his back;
And when the ship began to move,
The captain said "Quack quack!"

Little Tee Wee

Little Tee Wee' he went to sea
In an open boat; and while afloat
The little boat bended,
And my story's ended.

Jack be Quick

Jack be nimble, and Jack be quick;
And Jack jump over the candle-stick.

Jack Sprat

Jack Sprat had a cat,
It had but one ear;
It went to buy butter
When butter was dear.

Jack Horner

Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas Pie;
He put in his thumb, and he took out a plum,
And said, "What a good boy am I!"

Tom Tucker

Little Tom Tucker
Sings for his supper;
What shall he eat?
White bread and butter.
How shall he cut it
Without e'er a knife?
How will he be married
Without e'er a wife?

Georgie Porgie

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the girls came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away.

See-Saw

See-saw, Margery Daw,
Little Jacky shall have a new master;
Little Jacky shall have but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster.

Little Lad

Little lad, little lad, where wast thou born?
Far off in Lancashire, under a thorn,
Where they sup sour milk in a ram's horn.

Jack-a-Dandy

Handy Spandy, Jack-a-dandy,
Loved plum-cake and sugar-candy;
He bought some at a grocer's shop,
And out he came, hop, hop, hop.

My Son John

Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John
Went to bed with his stockings on;
One shoe off, the other shoe on.
Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John
