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.

Girls and boys, come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day;
Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows into the street.

My mother said
I never should
Play with the gypsies
In the wood.

If you go down to the woods today ... ...
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic 😊

The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain.
The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see, and
All that he could see. All that he could see was the other side of the mountain the other side of the mountain.
The other side of the mountain was all that he could see.

She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
(Sounds weird when you write it down! )

Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs
Bananas in pyjamas are coming down in pairs
Bananas in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears
Cause on Tuesdays they all try
To catch them unawares.

(From 'She'll be wearing pink pyjamas when she comes')

"I like to eat, eat, eat.. apples and bananas..."

^Handy, pandy, sugar, candy
French or almond rock.
Bread and butter for your supper,
that is all your mother’s got.
Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper...^

(It seemed skipping rhymes are allowed, as the teddy bear one’s featured a couple of times.)

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
Jack got up, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
To old Dame Dob, who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper

Little cottage in the wood
Little man by the window stood
Saw a rabbit running by knocking at the door
Help me ! help me! the rabbit said before the huntsman shoots me dead
Little rabbit come inside you’ll be safe with me .

(Lots of actions for this one)

little boy blue come blow your horn
The sheep’s in the meadow
The cows in the corn, but
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep. He’s under a hay stack fast sleep
Will you wake him?
No not I for if I do he’ll be sure to cry.

Cry baby Bunting
Daddy's gone a'hunting
He's gone to get a rabbit skin
To wrap poor baby Bunting in.

Hushabye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep little baby,
When you wake, you shall have cake
And all the pretty little horses.

Rockabye baby on the treetop,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.

"I was that baby,
And what bothers me,
Is why Mum & Dad
Shoved me up in a tree!".

Ring a'ring o'roses
A pocket full of posies
A-tishoo, a-tishoo
We all fall down

Ashes in the water
Ashes in the sea
Ashes in the dustbin
Up pops me!

Half a pound of tupenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel.

One for the money,
And two for the show;
Three to make ready,
And four to go.

(I promise it was a nursery rhyme - well, used to start races, mostly - before, well...)

The mouse ran up the clock

Es war einmal ein Mann,
der hatte einen Schwamm.
Der Schwamm war ihm zu nass,
da ging er auf die Gass'.
Die Gass' war ihm zu kalt,
da ging er in den Wald.
Der Wald war ihm zu grün,
da ging er nach Berlin.
Berlin war ihm zu voll,
da ging er nach Tirol.
Tirol war ihm zu klein,
da ging er wieder heim.
Daheim war's ihm zu nett,
da legte er sich ins Bett.
Im Bett war 'ne Maus,
'drum ist die Geschichte aus.

In English:
Once upon a time there was a man,
who had a sponge.
The sponge was too wet,
so he went to the alley
The alley was too cold,
so he went into the forest.
The forest was too green,
so he went to Berlin.
Berlin was too full,
So he went to the Tyrol.
Tirol was too small for him,
so he went home again.
Home was too nice
So he went to bed.
In bed was a mouse,
And so the story ends.

This old man, he plays one
He plays knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddy wack
Give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

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

There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his namo.
B.I.N.G.O B.I.N.G.0 B.I.N.G.O and Bingo was his namo

The farmer’s in his den,

The farmer’s in his den,

EE-I-AD-I-O,

The farmer’s in his den.

The farmer wants a wife….

The wife wants a child….

The child wants a nurse….

The nurse wants a dog….

The dog wants a bone…

We all pat the bone!

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
And put it in the oven
For baby and me.
