The eency weency spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
So the eency weency spider went up the spout again

Mary had a little lamb
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day, that was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb in school.
Why does the lamb love Mary so, Mary so, Mary so,
Why does the lamb love Mary so? the eager children cried.
'Cause Mary loves the lamb you know, lamb you know, lamb you know,
'Cause Mary loves the lamb you know, the teacher did reply.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Wheels on the Bus
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.

The door on the bus goes open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The door on the bus goes open and shut
All through the town.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep"

At The Zoo
First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the monkeys-mercy, how unpleasantly they-smelt!
My Mother
Who fed me from her gentle breast,
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses press
.
When sleep forsook my open eye,
Who was it sung sweet hushaby,
And rocked me that I should not cry?
.
Who sat and watched my infant head,
When sleeping on my cradle bed,
And tears of sweet affection shed?
.
When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
.
Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
.
Who taught my infant lips to pray,
And love God's holy book and day,
And walk in wisdom's pleasant way?
.
For could our Father in the skies
Look down with pleased or loving eyes,
If ever I could dare despise
My Mother.
Time to Rise
A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head?"
A Child's Evening Prayer
Here on my bed my limbs I lay,
God grant me grace my prayers to say:
O God! preserve my mother dear
In strength and health for many a year;
And, O! preserve my father too,
And may I pay him reverence due;
And may I my best thoughts employ
To be my parents' hope and joy;
And O! preserve my brothers both
From evil doings and from sloth,
And may we always love each other
Our friends, our father, and our mother:
And still, O Lord, to me impart
An innocent and grateful heart,
That after my great sleep I may
Awake to thy eternal day! Amen
