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.

Round and round the garden
Goes the Teddy bear
one step, two steps
Tickle him under there

Mary Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.

Ring a ring o' roses
A pocket full of' posies
A tissue

We all fall down

FIVE little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said:
'No more jumping on the bed!'

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
