Who wants to play nursery rhyme segue?

440 replies

Thistledew · 19/05/2021 20:00

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 like a teddy bear

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain,
Because today's the day
The Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Sally go round the sun,
Sally go round the moon
Sally go round the chimney pots
On a Saturday afternoon.

Hey Diddle Diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon

Little Boy Blue
Come blow your horn
The sheep's in the meadow
The cow's in the corn.

But where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack fast asleep.

Will you wake him?
No, not I,
For if I do
He's sure to cry.

Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall. One named Peter, one named Paul.
Fly away Peter! Fly away Paul!
Come back Peter! Come back Paul!

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - perhaps she'll die!

MrsMackesy · 24/05/2021 08:59

Ladybird, ladybird
Fly away home....

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again

Why did you let him go?
Because he bit my finger so
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger on my right

Doctor Foster
Went to Gloucester,
In a shower of rain.
Stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again

Girlonthego · 24/05/2021 12:09

Raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring...

Mysterian · 24/05/2021 13:01

Old Roger is dead and gone to his grave,
Hum,ha! gone to his grave.

They planted an apple tree over his head,
Hum,ha ! over his head.

The apples grew ripe and ready to drop,
Hum,ha ! ready to drop.

There came a high wind and blew them all off,
Hum,ha ! blew them all off.

There came an old woman to pick them all up,
Hum,ha ! pick them all up.

Old Roger got up and gave her a knock,
Hum,ha ! gave her a knock.

Which made the old woman go hipperty hop,
Hum,ha ! hipperty hop.

Rock a bye baby on the tree top

LlamaGiles · 24/05/2021 13:18

Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town!

He played knick-knack on my thumb,
With a knick-knack paddywhack
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
