THE ALPHABET SONG

Mary had a little lamb her daddy shot it dead
Now she goes to school with it between two bits of bread

Hey diddle diddle the cat did a piddle all over the kitchen floor
The little dog laughed to see such fun so the cat did a little bit more

Georgie Porgie pudding and pie kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play he kissed them too he was funny that way

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jill came down with half a crown and it wasn’t for carrying water

There was a young nun named Vera she wouldn’t let anyone near her
A crafty old monk slipped into her bunk and now she’s a mother superior

Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jumped over the candle stick
Silly boy, he should have jumped higher; goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!
