THE LION AND THE UNICORN.

The lion and the unicorn

Were fighting for the crown;
The lion beat the unicorn

All about the town.

Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown,
Some gave them plum-cake,

And sent them out of town.

OLD KING COLE.

Old King Cole

Was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe,

And called for his bowl,

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he;

Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.

O, there's none so rare,

As can compare

With King Cole and his fiddlers three!

HANDY-SPANDY, JACKY DANDY.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.

Cock-a-doodle-doo,

My dame has lost her shoe;

My master's lost his fiddling stick,
And knows not what to do.

Cock-a-doodle-doo,

What is my dame to do?

Till master finds his fiddling stick,
She'll dance without her shoe.

Cock-a-doodle-doo,

My dame has found her shoe,
And master's found his fiddling stick,
Sing doodle-doodle-doo.

Cock-a-doodle-doo,

My dame will dance with you,

While master fiddles his fiddling stick.

For dame and doodle-do.

HANDY-SPANDY, JACKY DANDY.

Handy-spandy, Jacky dandy,

Loves plum-cake and sugar-candy;
He bought some at a grocer's shop,
And, pleased, away went hop, hop, hop.

RIDDLE ME, RIDDLE ME, RIDDLE ME REE.

Riddle me, riddle me, riddle me ree!
None are so blind as those that won't see.

THREE LITTLE KITTENS.

Three little kittens lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

O mother dear,

We very much fear

That we have lost our mittens.

Lost your mittens!

You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

No, you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

The three little kittens found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

O mother dear,

See here, see here!

See! we have found our mittens.

THREE LITTLE KITTENS.

Put on your mittens,
You silly kittens,

And you may have some pie.

Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,

O let us have the pie.

Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r.

The three little kittens put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie;

O mother dear,

We greatly fear

That we have soil'd our mittens.

Soiled your mittens!

You naughty kittens!

Then they began to sigh,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

Then they began to sigh,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

The three little kittens washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

O mother dear,

Do you not hear,

That we have washed our mittens?

Washed your mittens!

, you're good kittens.

But I smell a rat close by:

Hush! Hush! mee-ow, mee-ow.

We smell a rat close by,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

THE CHILDREN SING IN FAR JAPAN.

The children sing in far Japan,
The children sing in Spain;

The organ with the organ man
Is singing in the rain.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY.

Rain, rain, go away,

Come again another day,

Little Johnny wants to play.

IF ALL THE WORLD WERE APPLE-PIE.

If all the world were apple-pie,

And all the sea were ink,

And all the trees were bread and cheese, What should we have to drink?
