4 When the cherry's in the blossom, there is no stone,
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine;_
When the goose is in the egg-shell, there is no bone.
_Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore,_
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine._

5 When the wool's on the sheep's back, there's no thread,
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine:_
When the book's in the press, no man can read
_Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore,_
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine._

[Illustration: THE THREE LITTLE KITTENS]

[Music:

There were three little kittens
Put on their mittens
To eat some Christmas pie.
_Mew, mew,_
_Mew, mew,_
_Mew, mew, mew._]

2 These three little kittens
They lost their mittens,
And all began to cry.
_Mew, mew, &c._

3 "Go, go, naughty kittens,
And find your mittens,
Or you shan't have any pie."
_Mew, mew, &c._

4 These three little kittens
They found their mittens,
And joyfully they did cry.
_Mew, mew, &c._

5 "O Granny, dear!
Our mittens are here,
Make haste and cut up the pie!"
_Purr-rr, purr-rr, purr-rr-rr._

[Illustration: PUSSY-CAT]

[Music:

Pussy-cat high, Pussy-cat low,
Pussy-cat was a fine teazer of tow.]

2 Pussy-cat she came into the barn,
With her bag-pipes under her arm.

3 And then she told a tale to me,
How Mousey had married a humble bee.

4 Then was I ever so glad,
That Mousey had married so clever a lad.

[Illustration: ZWEI HASEN]

[Music:

Zwischen Berg und tiefen, tiefen Thal,
Sassen einst zwei Hasen,
Frassen ab das gruene, gruene Gras,
Frassen ab das gruene, gruene Gras
Bis auf den Rasen,
Bis auf den Rasen.]

2 Als sie satt gefressen, 'fressen war'n
Setzten sie sich nieder,
Bis nun dann der Jaeger, Jaeger kam,
Und schoss sie nieder, und schoss sie nieder,

3 Als sie sich nun angesammelt hatt'n
Und sich besannen,
Dass sie noch Leben, Leben hatt'n
Liefen sie von dannen.

[Illustration: RINGEL TANZ]

[Music:

Es regnet auf der Bruecke, und ich werd' nass.
Ich hab' noch was vergessen, und weiss nicht was?

Schoene Jungfer huebsch und fein
Komm mit mir zum Tanz herein,
Lass uns einmal tanzen und lustig sein.]

[Illustration: LA BERGERE]

[Music:

Il etait un' bergere,
Et ron, ron, ron, petit patapon;
Il etait un' bergere,
Qui gardait ses moutons,
