A tisket, A tasket,
A green and yellow basket,
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way, I dropped it.
I dropped it, I dropped it,
And on the way I dropped it.
A little boy picked it up
And put it in his pocket.
Socks and shoes and jeans and shirt.
Trousers coat and blouse and skirt.
Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe.
Get it done by half past two.
Half past two is much too late!
Get it done by half past eight.
Stitch it up, and stitch it down,
And I'll give you a half a crown.
Cut them on Monday, you cut them for health;
Cut them on Tuesday, you cut them for wealth;
Cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for news;
Cut them on Thursday, a new pair of shoes;
Cut them on Friday, you cut them for sorrow;
Cut them on Saturday, see your true love tomorrow;
Cut them on Sunday, you cut them for evil,
For all of next week you'll be ruled by the devil.
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son, John,
Went to bed with his trousers on,
One shoe off and one shoe on!
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son, John!

My old man's a sailor,
What d you think of that?
He wears a sailor's collar,
He wears a sailor's hat.
He wears a sailor's raincoat,
He wears a sailor's shoes.
And every Sunday evening,
He reads the Sailor News.
And someday, if I can,
I'm gonna be a sailor,
The same as my old man.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone.
But when she got there, the cupboard was bare, so the poor dog gave a groan.
She went to the butcher's to buy him some meat,
But when she came back he was brushing his teeth.
She went to the market to buy him some fruit,
But when she came back, he was playing the flute.
She went to the bakery to buy him some bread,
But when she came back, he was already in bed.
She went to the doctor to make him feel better,
But when she came back, he was writing a letter.
She went to the tailor's to buy him a coat
But she came back, he was riding a goat
She went to the barber's to buy him a wig
But when she came back, he was dancing a jig.
She went to the hat shop to buy him a hat
But when she came back, he was feeding the cat.
She went to the shoemakers to buy him some shoes
But she came back, he was watching the news.
She went to the florist to buy him a rose,
But she came back, he was dressed in his clothes.
The dame gave a curtsey, the dog gave a bow.
The dame said, "Happy now?" the dog said, "Bow wow."

I woke up early, early in the morning.
Got out of bed, comfortable bed.
Jumped on the pillow, soft pillow.
Stood on my head, hard head.
Took off my pajamas, polka dot pajamas.
Put on my clothes, beautiful clothes.
Brushed my teeth, nice white teeth.
Blew my nose, tiny little nose.
Had my breakfast, great big breakfast.
Fed the cat, fat cat.
Went back to my room, nice little room.
Opened the door, great big door.
Saw my pajamas, polka dot pajamas.
On the floor, polka dot pajamas.
Picked them up, polka dot pajamas.
Put them in the drawer, polka dot pajamas.
Picked up my books, three or four.
Said goodbye to Mother and ran out the door.
Rat a tat tat,Rat a tat tat,
If I say this will you say that.

This is a ball, and that is a bat.
Rat a tat tat,Rat a tat tat,
Bark goes the dog and meow goes the cat.
Rat a tat tat,Rat a tat tat,
The dogs on the rug and the cats on the mat.
Rat a tat tat,Rat a tat tat,
The cat's got a mouse and the dog's got a rat.
Rat a tat tat,Rat a tat tat,
The cat gets a stroke and the dog gets a pat.

Fathers all listen while Mothers all chat.
Rat a tat tat,Rat a tat tat,
Mothers are thin but Fathers are Fat.

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his night-gown,
Rapping at the window, crying through the lock,
Are the children all in bed, for now it's eight o'clock.
(chorus) (2nd verse)
What are you wearing today? I've got my blue shirt on,
What are you wearing today? I've got my blue shirt on,
What are you wearing, That's what he's wearing today.
What are you wearing, I've got my blue shirt on,
What are you wearing today? I've got my blue shirt on,
That's what he's wearing today.
(1st verse)
I've got my red dress on, (3rd verse)
I've got my red dress on. We've got our green pants on.
That's what she's wearing today. We've got our green pants on.
I've got my red dress on, That's what they're wearing today.
I've got my red dress on. We've got our green pants on.
That's what she's wearing today. We've got our green pants on.
That's what they're wearing today.
