THE MAN IN THE MOON.
THE Man in the Moon
Came tumbling down,
And asked his way to Norwich;

And asked his way to Norwich;
They told him south,
And he burnt his mouth
With eating cold pease-porridge.

TO MARKET, TO MARKET.
TO market, to market, to buy a fat Pig;
Home again, home again, dancing a jig.
Home again, home again, dancing a jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat Hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.
THERE WAS A MAN.
There was a man, and he had nought,
And robbers came to rob him;
And robbers came to rob him;
He crept up to the chimney-pot,
And then they could not find him;
He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.
THE LION AND THE UNICORN.
The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting for the Crown;
The Lion beat the Unicorn
All round about the town.
Were fighting for the Crown;
The Lion beat the Unicorn
All round about the town.
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum-cake,
And sent them out of town.
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum-cake,
And sent them out of town.

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

GOOSEY, GOOSEY GANDER.
Goosey, Goosey Gander,
Where shall I wander?
Where shall I wander?
Upstairs, downstairs,
And in my lady's chamber.

There I met an old man
That would not say his prayers:
I took him by the left leg,
And threw him downstairs.

And threw him downstairs.
HUMPTY DUMPTY.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;

All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.

Have you any wool?
Yes, marry, have I,
Three bags full:

And one for the little boy
That lives in the lane!
THE THREE WISE MEN OF GOTHAM.
Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl:
Went to sea in a bowl:
If the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.
