Once I saw a little bird,
Come hop, hop, hop;
So I cried, “Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?”
And was going to the window,
To say, How do you do?
When he shook his little tail,
And far away he flew.
P
Pease-pudding hot, pease-pudding cold;
Pease-pudding in the pot, nine days old.
Q
Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.
R
Ride a-cock horse to Banbury Cross,
To see an old woman get up on her horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells at her toes,
And so she makes music wherever she goes.
S
Simple Simon met a pieman,
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
“Let me taste your ware!”
T
Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief,
Taffy came to my house.
And stole a leg of beef.
I went to Taffy’s house,
Taffy was not at home;
Taffy came to my house.
And stole a marrow-bone.
I went to Taffy’s house,
Taffy was in bed;
I took the marrow-bone.
And broke Taffy’s head.
