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.

The man in the moon came tumbling down
And asked the way to Norwich
He went by south
And he burnt his mouth
From eating cold pease-porridge

Tea's the drink for me.

Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St Clement's
...
I do not know
Says the great bell of Bow.

Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady on a white horse
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes.

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
1 a penny, 2 a penny,
Hot cross buns!

If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
1 a penny, 2 a penny,
Hot cross buns!

5 currant buns in the bakers shop
Round and fat with a cherry on top
Along came 'x' with a penny on day.
Brought a currant bun and took it away

Here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush. Here we go round the mulberry bush, on a cold and frosty morning.

Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear
One step
Two step
Tickly under there

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
I'm going down the garden to eat worms
Long, thin, slimy ones
Short, fat, fuzzy ones
Gooey, gooey, gooey, gooey worms!

Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
But together, both
They licked the platter clean.

Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jsck got and home did trot as fast as he could caper.
He went to bed to mend is head with vinegar and brown paper.

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!

One two three four five.
Once I caught a fish alive
Six seven eight nine ten
Then I let him 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

This little piggy went to market...

MrsMackesy · 27/05/2021 15:43

Ten little fingers
Ten little toes
Two little ears
And one little nose
Two little eyes that shine so bright
And one little mouth to kiss goodnight.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/05/2021 15:47

You see these these are your knees
You see those those are you toes.
You see this this is a kiss to show that I love you.

35andThriving · 27/05/2021 17:39

Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes
And eyes and ears, and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes!
