Yan, tan, thethera, methera, pip!
Rain, rain, go away!
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy
Pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold
Hot cross buns
Kicking cans along the street
Apple papple
Extra, extra, extra special!
Stepping stones across the brook
Zachery and Zebedee
Let's run over the little stone bridge!
Toc tac toe
Little snail
Ponies trotting
Seven hairy caterpillars
The drunken sailor
The runaway hen
Dinner's ready!
Tails up!
Clap your hands
Have you heard?
Zum, zum, zum
Summer goodbye!
Can you sing this song?
Pop goes the weasel
Hop-a-doodle
Shepherd's hey: Our mother's a-weaving
Apples and pears
I had a cat
Silvery water moon
The stream that joins the Moldau
The nightingale
London Bridge
The bells of St. Paul's steeple
In Holland stands a house
London's burning!
Fair Katya
Frere Jacques
Three fine geese
Summer is a-coming in
Henry Baggins' best suit.
