Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you through my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
How I wonder what you are!


Grandfather’s Clock

My grandfather’s clock
Was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years old on the floor,
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn,
Of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride

x But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering,
Tick , tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died

In watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro,
Many hours had he spent while a boy,
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know,
And to share both his grief and his joy,
For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door,
With a blooming and beautiful bride,

x Repeat

It rang an alarm
In the dead of the night,
An alarm that for years had been dumb,
And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming his flight,
That his hour of departure had come,
Still the clock kept the time,
With a soft and muffled chime,
As we silently stood by his side.

I had A Little Nut Tree

I had A Little Nut Tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver Nutmeg
And a golden pear
The King of Spain’s daughter
Came to visit me,
And all for the sake of my little nut tree

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Rub-A-Dub-Dub
Three men in a tub
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker
The candlestick-maker
Turn’em out! Knaves all three!


Six Little Ducks

Six little Ducks that I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones they were, too

x But the one little duck
With the feathers on his back,
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack!
Quack, quack, quack!
Quack, quack, quack!
He led the other’s with a quack, quack, quack!

Down by the river they would go,
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wobble, to and fro
x Repeat

Home from the river they would come
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wobble, ho-hum-hum!
