Who wants to play nursery rhyme segue?

[Thistledew]

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.

One two buckle my shoe

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe
Get it done by half past two
Stitch it up and stitch it down
Then I'll give you half a crown

The grand old Duke of York
He had 10,000 men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again

Hickory dickory dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory dickory dock

Tick tock, tick tick, tick tock

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
I saw a mouse!
(Where?)
There on the stair!
(Where on the stair?)
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah!

Goosey goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady's chamber.
There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs

(I'm learning many a new nursery rhyme on this thread! You lot are amazing! )

Teddy bear teddy bear turn around
Teddy bear teddy touch the ground
Teddy bear teddy climb up the stairs
Teddy bear teddy bear say your prayers
Teddy bear teddy bear turn out the light
Teddy bear teddy bear say goodnight

(Double whammy ooh yeah I'm on a roll 😂)

Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout

I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout.

When I see the teacups
Hear me shout
"TIP ME UP & POUR ME OUT!".

It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed
And bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning

Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day very apt recently

I don't get it. . Can you believe Nursery Rhymes are too advanced for me. 😂😂😂

So we're just singing Nursery Rhymes.

A Sailor went to sea sea sea
To see what he could see see see
And all that he could see see see
was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea.

I had a little nut tree nothing would it bare but a silver nut meg and a golden pear. The King of Spain's Daughter came to visit me and all for the sake of my little nut tree.

Rock-a-bye baby on the treetops,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
Only took me 3 days!
@MrsMackesy..you are even clever at this game...your talents are endless

@Awwlookatmybabyspider no, it’s not just singing nursery rhymes it’s finding a connection between the rhymes. So for example a sailor went to sea sea sea to see what he could see, could be followed with a bear went over the mountain as the connecting word/theme would be see

Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man Bake me a cake as fast as you can Pat it and prick it and mark it with 'B' Put it in the oven for baby and me…

Rub a dub dub
Three men in a tub.
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker.
Turn them out,
Rogues all three!

Up the tall white Candlestick crawled little mousy brown. Right to the top but he couldn’t get down, so. He called for his ‘Grandma. “Grandma” Grandma”, but Grandma was it town, so He curled himself into a ball and rolled back down.

There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat
Who caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

Thanks, @Sweetpea1532 - good to see you on here too - no rest for the wicked I must be very wicked then

This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Mouse.

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocketful full of rye,
4 and 20 blackbirds baked in pie.

When the pie was open
The birds began to sing.
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King?

The king was in his counting house, counting out his money.
The queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden, pegging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird,
And pecked off her nose.

The farmer wants a wife
The farmer wants a wife
Ee-ii-ed-i-o
The farmer wants a wife

Oh, dear...sorry

old

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard to get her poor doggie a bone
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare
And so the poor doggie had none.
