Little Betty Blue Lost her holiday shoe, What can little Betty do?
Give her another To match the other, And then she may walk in two.
Hush-a-bye, baby, lie still with thy daddy, Thy mammy is gone to the mill, To get some meal to bake a cake, So pray, my dear baby, lie still.
You shall have an apple, You shall have a plum, You shall have a rattle-basket, When papa comes home.
A MAN OF WORDS AND NOT OF DEEDS.
A MAN of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds; And when the weeds begin to grow, It's like a garden full of snow; And when the snow begins to fall, It's like a bird upon the wall; And when the bird away does fly, It's like an eagle in the sky; And when the sky begins to roar, It's like a lion at the door; And when the door begins to crack, It's like a stick across your back; And when your back begins to smart, It's like a penknife in your heart; And when your heart begins to bleed, You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.

Thank you, kind sir, I hear very clearly.
The Cuckoo's a bonny bird, She sings as she flies, She brings us good tidings, And tells us no lies.
She sucks little birds' eggs, To make her voice clear, And never cries "Cuckoo!"
Till spring-time of the year.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man, Bake me a cake as fast as you can; p.r.i.c.k it and pat it, and mark it with G; And put it in the oven for Teddy and me.
p.u.s.s.y-cat ate the dumplings, the dumplings; p.u.s.s.y-cat ate the dumplings.
Mamma stood by, and cried, "Oh, fie!
Why did you eat the dumplings?"
