Some children are so naughty, And some are very good; But the Genteel Family

Five little Girls, sitting on a form, Five little Girls, with lessons to learn, Five little Girls, who, I'm afraid,

Baby mine, over the trees; Baby mine, over the flowers; Baby mine, over the sunshine;

One two, is one to you: One two three, is one to me. Throw it fast or not at all,

Little Blue Shoes Mustn't go Very far alone, you know

The King and the Queen were riding Upon a Summer's day, And a Blackbird flew above them,

It is a Party, do you know, And there they sit, all in a row, Waiting till the others come,

Oh who'll give us Posies, And Garlands of Roses, To twine round our heads so gay?

Out of Wonder World I think you come; For in your eyes the wonder comes with you. The stars are the windows of Heaven,

Little Molly and Damon Are walking so far, For they're going to see

"Are you going next week to see Phillis and Phoebe? Phillis on Monday will be just fourteen. She says we shall all have our tea in the garden,

In September, when the apples were red, To Belinda I said, "Would you like to go away

In the May-time flowers grow; Little girls in meadows go; Little lambs frisk with delight,

I am a very little girl, I think that I've turned two; And if you'd like to know my name

"My Polly is so very good, Belinda never cries; My Baby often goes to sleep,

Oh, sweet Miss Molly, You're so fond Of Fishes in a little Pond.

Little girlie tell to me What your wistful blue eyes see? Why you like to stand so high,

If I could see a little fish That is what I just now wish! I want to see his great round eyes

Dancing and prancing to town we go, On the top of the wall of the town we go. Shall we talk to the stars, or talk to the moon,

Ring-a-ring of little boys. Ring-a-ring of girls; All around all around,

Puff, puff, puff. How the trumpets blow All you little boys and girls come and see the show. One--two--three, the Cat runs up the tree;

Oh, Susan Blue, How do you do? Please may I go for a walk with you?

What did she see oh, what did she see, As she stood leaning against the tree? Why all the Cats had come to tea.

You very fine Miss Molly, What will the daisies say, If you carry home so many

Pray let me introduce you to This little dancing family; For morning, afternoon, and night

Four Princesses lived in a Green Tower A Bright Green Tower in the middle of the sea; And no one could think oh, no one could think

Jump jump jump Jump away From this town into

In my little Green House, quite content am I, When the hot sun pours down from the sky; For oh, I love the country the beautiful country.

With Roses red Roses, We'll pelt her with Roses, And Lilies white Lilies we'll drop at her feet;

In the pleasant green Garden We sat down to tea; "Do you take sugar?" and

The Wedding Bells were ringing, And Monday was the day, And all the little ladies

Tip-a-Toe, See them go; One, two, three

Oh, what shall my blue eyes go see? Shall it be pretty Quack-Quack to-day? Or the Peacock upon the Yew Tree?

Oh, dear, how will it end? Peggy and Susie how naughty you are. You little know where you are,

They saw it rise in the morning, They saw it set at night, And they longed to go and see it,

Under Rose Arches to Rose Town Rose Town on the top of the hill; For the Summer wind blows and music goes,

When we went out with Grandmamma-- Mamma said for a treat-- Oh, dear, how stiff we had to walk

When you and I Grow up Polly I mean that you and me,

Willy said to his sister, "Please may I go with you?" She said, "You must behave

Oh, if you were a little boy, And I was a little girl-- Why you would have some whiskers grow
