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.

How much is that doggy in the window.
The one with the waggly tail.
How much is that doggy in the window.
I do hope that doggy’s for sale.

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To give the poor dog(gy) a bone:
When she came there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

She went to the baker’s
To buy him some bread;
When she came back
The dog was dead!

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

One two pick up sticks
Three four lay them straight

Five little ducks went swimming one day
Over the pond and far away
Mother Duck said 'quack, quack, quack, quack'
But only four little ducks came back

I know, Sweetpea Grin

Five fat sausages sizzling in the pan, one went "pop"
And another went "bang".

ONE little speckled frog,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs - yum, yum!
He jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were NO speckled frogs.

Little boy blue come blow your horn

Mae bys Meri-Ann wedi brifo,
A Dafydd y gwas ddim yn iach.
Mae'r baban yn y crud yn crio,
A'r gath wedi sgramo Joni bach.
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tân,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A'r gath wedi sgramo Joni bach.

Translation:

Mary-Ann has hurt her finger,
And David the servant is not well.
The baby in the cradle is crying,
And the cat has scratched little Johnny.
A little saucepan is boiling on the fire,
A big saucepan is boiling on the floor,
And the cat has scratched little Johnny.

Pussy Cat pussy cat where have you been
I've been to London to visit the Queen.
Pussy Cat pussy cat, what did you there.
I frightened a little mouse under the chair

The owl and the pussy cat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat

Ten green bottles,
hanging on the wall,
ten green bottles,
hanging on the wall,
and if one green bottle,
should accidentally fall,
there'll be nine green bottles,
hanging on the wall.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/05/2021 00:24

Being a Spider is such a lot of fun crawling along the ceiling and going for a run.
Being a Spider is absolutely great. I've got more legs than anyone cause I've got 8.

There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She had so many children
She didn't know what to do

You put your left leg in, your left leg out
In, out, in, out, shake it all about
You do the hokey cokey and you turn around
That's what it's all about.

(Shoe, leg, close enough?)

Clawdy · 26/05/2021 12:27

Leg over, leg over, As the dog went to Dover, When he came to a stile, Whoops, he jumped over.

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