See Saw Margery Daw


See Saw Margery Daw
Jacky has a new champion
Jacky is to win
But a case in the hands of the day
It cannot work more fastly

Oranges and Lemons...


The oranges and lemons, say live some to them of Saint-Indulgente.
They have said five black poplars to me, lives some to them of Saint-Martin.
When it pays to me? They say lives some to them of Old Bailey.
If I will be rich, they say lives some to them of Shoreditch.

When it will be? They say lives some to them of Stepney.
I do not know, therefore the great called of Bow.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
The capture of a tiger from the toe
If it cries, eeny, meeny, miny to go
Leaves moe

One For Sorrow, Two For Joy...


Two words for the pain of joy
Three for a child
Four for a child
Five for money
Six for but
Seven for a secret
Eight for a desire not to be
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird that cannot lack

This Old Man


This old man has played one,
Has played ornaments on mine must,
With ornaments, whackpaddy, I give back to the dog a bone to you,
This old man is rolling.

Georgie Porgie



I plant Porgie Pudding and Pie, the Georgia,
Kissed the girls
And the fact that when the boys have come outside playing
Georgie Porgie escapes.
