Hush-a-bye, baby, upon the tree top,

When the wind blows the cradle will rock; When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, Down tumble cradle and baby and all.

Daffy-down-dilly is new come to town, With a petticoat green, and a bright yellow gown, And her white blossoms are peeping around.

The little black dog ran round the house,

And set the bull a roaring,

And drove the monkey in the boat,

To powder my locks and curl my hair;
On Sunday morning my love will come in
And marry me then with a pretty gold ring.

Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot nine days old.
Can you spell that with four letters ?
Yes, I can-THAT.
