I'll start with the sub's title!

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such a sight
And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Twinkle Twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are.

^.^ I remember singing that one while jumping on the bed! whee
Here's one of my favorite childhood songs:

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

NO way did you just post that! I totally love that cartoon! lol. Wow, now I feel so old for saying that. ha ha.


Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed up the spout again.  

[PunctureWounds]

eek I had no idea Puff the Magic Dragon was a show... You should find a link and post it!!

Here's a rhyme that doubles as a game:

Pat a cake, pat a cake
Baker's men
Bake me a cake
As fast as you can!

Roll it and pat it,
And mark it with a "B"!
And put it in the oven,
For Baby and Me!  

[Nycko]

Whoa, haven't heard that one in a long time also. Wow...its been a while. But great song for babies.


Row Row Row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
Life is but a dream  

[PunctureWounds]

Here's one my neice really enjoys, even though all she says is, "marching, marching!". (She's so cute!!)

The Ants go marching

The ants go marching one by one.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one;
The little one stops to suck his thumb,
And they all go marching

down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching two by two.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching two by two.
Hurrah! Hurrah!

And they all go marching

to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching three by three.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching three by three.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching three by three;
The little one stops to ride a bee,
And they all go marching

to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching four by four.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching four by four.
Hurrah! Hurrah!

to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching five by five.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching five by five.

to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching six by six.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching six by six.

The little one stops to pick up sticks,
And they all go marching

down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching seven by seven.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching seven by seven.
Hurrah! Hurrah!

to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching eight by eight.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching eight by eight.

into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching ten by ten.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching ten by ten;
The little one stops to shout

"THE END!!"  

[Kamp]

ring around the rosie
pocket full of posey
ashes, ashes,
we all found down.  

[PunctureWounds]

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full.

One for my master,
One for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives in the lane.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full.  

[Kokutenshi]

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
His name is my name, too!
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout
There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!  

[Kokutenshi]

Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey,
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.  

[PunctureWounds]

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.

A penney for a spool of thread,
A penney for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.

Up and down the City Road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.

Half a pound of tuppenney rice,,
Half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! goes the weasel.  

[jambare]

Trot trot to Boston to buy a Johnny cake
On the way home I met with a snake
Up with the stick
Hit him on the head
Ever since that
Old snakes been dead!
