MOTION RHYMES

TO PLEASE THE BABY

RIDE, baby, ride;

Pretty baby shall ride,

And have a little puppy-dog tied to her side,

And a little pussy-cat tied to the other, And away she shall ride

To see her grandmother,

To see her grandmother,
To see her grandmother.

THIS is the way the ladies ride:

Canter, canter, canter, canter!
This is the way the ladies ride:
Canter, canter, canter, canter!

This is the way the gentlemen ride:
Gallop-a-trot, gallop-a-trot!

This is the way the gentlemen ride:
Gallop-a-trot, gallop-a-trot!

This is the way the farmers ride: Hobbledy-hoy, hobbledy-hoy! This is the way the farmers ride: Hobbledy-hoy, hobbledy-hoy!

To market, to market,
To buy a plum bun;
Home again, come again,
Market is done.

TROT, trot to Boston,

Trot, trot to Lynn;
Trot, trot to Salem
And back again.

BYE, Baby Bunting,
Daddy's gone a-hunting,
To get a little rab-

bit's skin,

To wrap

his Baby Bunting in.

DANCE, little baby, dance up high;
Never mind, baby, mother is by.
Crow and caper, caper and crow;
There, little baby, there you go-

Up to the ceiling, down to the ground,
Backwards and forwards, round and

round;

Dance, little baby, and mother will sing, With the merry chorus, ding, ding, ding!

SEE-SAW, Marjory Daw,

Jenny shall have a new master;

And she shall have but a penny a day, Because she can't work any faster.

FINGERS AND TOES

PAT-A-CAKE, pat-a-cake, baker's man!
So I do, master, as fast as I can:
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T,
Put it in the oven for Tommy and me.

THIS little pig went to market;
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had roast beef;
This little pig had none;

This little pig said, "Wee, wee!
I can't find my way home."

THIS little cow eats grass;

This little cow eats hay;

This little cow drinks water;

This little cow runs away;
This little cow does nothing

But just lie down all day.
We'll whip her.
