Little Miss Muffet, Sat on a tuffet, Eating her curds and whey; Along came a spider, Who sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffet away. Little Miss Muffet by Arthur Rackham
Round and round the garden, Like a teddy bear; One step, two step, Tickle you under there! Nursery Rhymes: ca. 1885, Frontispiece from Kate Greenaway's Marigold Garden

Oh the grand old Duke of York, He had ten thousand men, He marched them up to the top of the hill And he marched them down again. And when they were up, they were up, And when they were down, they were down, And when they were only halfway up, They were neither up nor down.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky; Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands, If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it, If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
