THE MAN IN THE MOON

The Man in the Moon
Came tumbling down,
And asked his way to Norwich;

They told him south,
And he burnt his mouth
With eating cold pease-porridge.

TO MARKET, TO MARKET

To market, to market, to buy a fat Pig;
Home again, home again, dancing a jig.

To market, to market, to buy a fat Hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

THERE WAS A MAN

There was a man, and he had nought,
And robbers came to rob him;
He crept up to the chimney-pot,
And then they thought they had him;
But he got down on t'other side,
And then they could not find him;
He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.

THE LION AND THE UNICORN

The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting for the crown;
The Lion beat the unicorn
All round about the town.

Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum-cake,
And sent them out of town.

LITTLE MISS MUFFET

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating of curds and whey;

There came a big Spider
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

ORANGES AND LEMONS

_Gay go up, and gay go down
To ring the bells of London Town._

Bull's eyes and targets
Say the bells of St. Marg'ret's.

Brickbats and tiles,
Say the bells of St. Giles'.
