Man in moon

Offering porridge

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

THE Man in the Moon
Came tumbling down,
And asked his way to Norwich;
Buring mouth
They told him south,
And he burnt his mouth
With eating cold pease-porridge.

The pig

TO MARKET, TO MARKET.

TO market, to market, to buy a fat Pig;
Home again, home again, dancing a jig.

To market
To market, to market, to buy a fat Hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

Buy a hog
Home again

Sneaking off

THERE WAS A MAN.

There was a man, and he had nought,
And robbers came to rob him;

Up the roof
He crept up to the chimney-pot,
AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM
BUT HE GOT DOWN ON T'OTHER SIDE

And then they could not find him;

Looking for him

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.

14 miles

Lion and the Unicorn

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.

Lion beat the unicorn
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum-cake,
And sent them out of town.

Gave them bread
Eating bread

Miss Muffet

LITTLE MISS
MUFFET.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating of curds and whey;
Sat on a tuffet
There came a big Spider
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
Frightened Miss Muffet
Miss Muffet and the Spider
Spider in the Whey
