WATER
There's water in the rain barrel,
And water in the well,
There's lots of water in the pond
Where Hannah Hawkins fell.
There's water in the ocean,
And water in the skies,
And when a fellow blubbers
He gets water in his eyes.
But in the Barca desert
Where the hippodoodles play,
The water in the rivers
Just dries up and blows away.
OLD MOLLY IS LOWING
Old Molly is lowing and lowing
'Way down in the old meadow lot.
I've given her water and clover,
And all of the apples I've got;
But she won't eat a thing that I give her,
And never drinks even a sup,
For they've taken her baby to market
And some one has eaten it up.
I'd just like to go to the city
And cut them all up into halves
And feed them to sharks and to lions--
Those people that eat little calves.

SNOWFLAKES
The snowflakes are falling by ones and by twos;
There's snow on my jacket, and snow on my shoes;
There's snow on the bushes, and snow on the trees--
It's snowing on everything now, if you please.

DIPPY-DIPPY-DAVY
Dippy-Dippy-Davy,
Half the Royal Navy
In the dampness and the dark
Was driving off a savage shark
To Dippy-Dippy-Davy.

WHEN I'M AS RICH
AS UNCLE CLAUS
When I'm as rich as Uncle Claus,
With whiskers on my chin,
I'm going to have a great big house
To put my people in.
I'll never let them wander out
Or ride with me to town;
They'll come a-running when I shout
And tremble when I frown.
I'll have some men in soldier tents,
A pirate and his mate,
And wildcats all around the fence,
And mad dogs on the gate.
RINKY-TATTLE
Rinky-tattle, rinky-tattle,
Rinky-tattle--who?
Little Tommy Taylor
Is a rinky-tattle too.

TWENTY LITTLE SNOWFLAKES
Twenty little snowflakes climbing up a wire.
"Now, listen," said their mother, "don't you climb up any higher.
The sun will surely catch you, and scorch you with his fire."
But the naughty little snowflakes didn't mind a word she said,
Each tried to clamber faster than his fellow just ahead;
They thought that they'd be back in time enough to go to bed.
But they found out that their mother wasn't quite the
