Five little ducks went out to play
Over the hills and far away
And the mother duck cried, "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
But only four little ducks came back.

The Fox
The fox went out on a chilly night
And he prayed to the moon for to bring him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o.
He ran til he came to the farmer's pen,
The ducks and the geese were kept therein,
He said, "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin,
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin,
Before I leave this town-o."
He grabbed the gray goose by the neck,
And he threw a duck all across his back,
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack,
And the legs all a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o,
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack,
And the legs all a-dangling down-o.
Old Mother Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed,
And she ran to the window and she popped out her head,
Crying, "John, John! The gray goose is gone,
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!
John, John! The gray goose is gone,
And the fox is on the town-o!"
He ran till he came to his nice warm den,
And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten.
They said, "Daddy, daddy, better go back again,
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!"
They said, "Daddy, daddy better go back again,
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o!
The fox and his wife without any strife,
They cut up the goose with a carving knife,
They never had such a supper in their life,
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o,
They never had such a supper in their life,
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o.

Senor don Gato
Senor don Gato was a cat
On a high red roof don Gato sat
He went up to read a letter (meow meow meow)
Where the reading light was better (meow meow meow)
'Twas a love note for don Gato!
"I adore you!" wrote the lady cat
Who was fluffy white, so nice and fat!
There was not a sweeter kitty (meow...)
In the country or the city (meow...)
And she said she'd wed don Gato.
Well don Gato jumped so happily
He fell off the roof and broke his knee
Broke his ribs and all his whiskers (meow...)
And his little solar plexus (meow...)
"Ay Chihuahua!" cried don Gato.
All the doctors came upon the run
Just to see if something could be done
And they held a consultation (meow...)
Just to try and save their patient (meow...)
Try to save Senor don Gato.
But in spite of everything they tried
Poor Senor don Gato up and died
And it wasn't very merry (meow...)
Going to the cemetery (meow...)
For the ending of don Gato.
As the funeral passed the market square
Such a smell of fish was in the air
Though the burial was slated (meow...)
He became reanimated (meow...)
He came back to life, don Gato!!

Sandwiches
Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time
I eat them for my supper, I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred sandwiches Id eat them all at once!
At once! At once!
Im a-roamin' and a-ramblin' and wondering along
And if you care to listen I will sing a happy song
I will not ask a favor, I will not ask a fee
Oh but if you have a sandwich, won't you give a bite to me?
Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time
I eat them for my supper, I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred sandwiches Id eat them all at once!
At once! At once!
Once I went to England a-visiting the Queen
I swear she was the finest lady that Id ever seen
I told her she was beautiful and could not ask for more
She handed me a sandwich and she kicked me out the door
Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time
I eat them for my supper, I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred sandwiches Id eat them all at once!
At once! At once!
A sandwich may be egg or cheese or even peanut butter
They all taste so good to me it really doesnt matter
Ham or jam or cucumber, any kind will do
Oh, I like sandwiches and how about you?
Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time
I eat them for my supper, I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred sandwiches I'd eat them all at once!
At once! At once!

Billy Boy
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?
I have been to seek a wife,
She's the darling of my life,
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
Did she ask you to come in, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Did she ask you to come in, charming Billy?
Yes, she asked me to come in,
There's a dimple in her chin.
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
Can she make a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy?
She can bake a cherry pie,
In the twinkling of an eye,
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
How old is she, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
How old is she, charming Billy?
Three times six and four times seven,
Twenty-eight and eleven,
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I dunno why she swallowed that fly,
Hope she don't die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and wiggled and jiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
Now I dunno why she swallowed that fly
Perhaps she'll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.
Havent you heard? She swallowed a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider...
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.
Imagine that, she swallowed a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird ...
There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.
What a hog! To swallow a dog!
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat...
There was an old lady who swallowed a goat.
Just opened her throat and swallowed a goat!
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog...
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow.
I don't know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat...
There was an old lady who swallowed a horse.
She died, of course.

The Cat Came Back
Old farmer Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat who would not leave his home
He tried and he tried to give the cat away
He gave him to a man going far, far way...
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back we thought he was a goner but
The cat came back he just wouldn't stay away
So he gave him to a man with a long white beard
He said put him in your sleigh and take him far away from here
To the cold North Pole, the wind and the snow
The last thing he heard was HO HO HO...
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back we thought he was a goner but
The cat came back he just wouldnt stay away
Once a crazy scientist took the yellow cat
And he put him in a time machine with one small rat
He sent them back a million years to the dinosaur and ape
"We're gone for good," the ratty cried,
"There's no possible escape!"
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back we thought he was a goner but
The cat came back he just wouldn't stay away
Oh kitty oh kitty quit treating me mean
You're the meanest old kitty that I've ever seen
You eat me out of house and home
It's time you packed your bags and go cat go
Hit the road, cat
And don't you come back no more no more no more no more
Hit the road, cat
And don't you come back no more!

Dona
On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him flies a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
Chorus:
All the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laughed and laughed the whole day through and
Half the summer's night
Dona, dona
Dona, dona, dona, dona
Dona, dona, dona, doan
Dona, dona, dona, dona
Dona, dona, dona, doan
Stop complaining said the farmer
Who told you a calf to be?
Why can't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?
Chorus
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But for he who treasures freedom
Like the swallow must learn to fly
Chorus

Jabberwocky
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time this manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by a Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He came galumphing back.
"And, hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe!
Poem by Lewis Caroll
