Les beaux messieurs font comm' ca,
Et puis encor' comm' ca:
Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse, danse,
Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse en rond.]

2 Les belles dames font comm' ca,
Et puis encore comm' ca:
Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse, danse,
Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse en rond.

3 Et les capucins font comm' ca,
Et puis encore comm' ca:
Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse, danse,
Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse en rond.

[Illustration: LONDON BRIDGE]

[Music:

London Bridge is broken down,
_Dance over my Ladye Lea;_
London Bridge is broken down:
_With a gay ladye._]

2 How shall we build it up again?
_Dance over my Ladye Lea;_
How shall we build it up again?
_With a gay ladye._

3 Silver and gold will be stole away,
_Dance over my Ladye Lea;_
Silver and gold will be stole away:
_With a gay ladye._

4 Iron and steel will bend and bow,
_Dance over my Ladye Lea;_
Iron and steel will bend and bow:
_With a gay ladye._

5 Wood and clay will wash away,
_Dance over my Ladye Lea;_
Wood and clay will wash away:
_With a gay ladye._

6 Build it up with stone so strong,
_Dance over my Ladye Lea;_
Huzza! 'twill last for ages long.
_With a gay ladye._

[Illustration: CHARLEY OVER THE WATER]

[Music:

Over the water, and over the lea,
And over the water to Charley;
And Charley loves good ale and wine,
And Charley loves good brandy,
And Charley loves a pretty girl
As sweet as sugar candy.]

2 Over the water and over the sea,
And over the water to Charley;
I'll have none of your nasty beef,
Nor I'll have none of your barley.
But I'll have some of your very best flour
To make a white cake for my Charley.

[Illustration: THE FOUR PRESENTS]

[Music:

I had four brothers over the sea,
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine;_
And they each sent a present unto me.
_Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore,_
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine._]

2 The first sent a goose without a bone,
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine;_
The second sent a cherry without a stone,
_Petrum, Partrum, Paradisi, Tempore,_
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine._

3 The third sent a blanket without a thread,
_Perrie, Merrie, Dixi, Domine;_
The fourth sent a book that no man could read,
_Petrum, Partrum,
