Who wants to play nursery rhyme segue?

I amuse myself when singing nursery rhymes to DD by making one nursery rhyme segue to the next by some sort of theme. So for instance, I might start with London Bridge is Falling Down, then go:

London's Burning (London connection)
Jack and Jill (water)
Miss Polly had a Dolly (medical treatment)
Polly put the kettle on (Polly)
I'm a little tea pot (tea)

And on the basis that I find 'I'm a little tea pot' to be a tough one to follow on from, who wants to play? Just add the song that you would go to from the previous poster's suggestion.

I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner,
I like a nice cup of tea with my tea,
I like a nice cup of tea with my breakfast,
Tea's the drink for me.

Anyone want to play? Smile

I'm a little teapot short and stout
Here's my handle and here's my spout
When the waters boiling hear me shout
Tip me up and pour me out

Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn.
Where is that boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack,
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
Oh, no, not I,
For if I do,
He'll surely cry.

Are we allowed to go round again?

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?

I've been to London to visit the Queen.

Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?

I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

Hickory dickory dock.
The mouse ran up the clock

Listen to the big clock
Tick tock, tick tock
Look at its hands move
Round and round
Listen to its bell chime
Ding dong, ding dong.

The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All day long.

The people on the bus go up and down
Up and down, up and down,
The people on the bus go up and down
All day long.

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
All day long.

Round and round the village, Round and round the village,
And through the GARDEN gate.

Round and round the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.
How many ‘r’s in that?
Tell me if you can.

35andThriving · 31/03/2023 19:28

I'm the king of the castle
And you're the dirty rascal!

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpy had a big fall,
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

Little Jack Horner,
Sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said 'what a good boy am I.'
