Under the spreading chestnut tree
Where I held you on my knee
We were happy as could be
Under the spreading chestnut tree
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while a boy
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Little StarTwinkle, twinkle
Little StarHow I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
He could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master
One for the dame
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
Yankee Doodle came to town
A-ridin' on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
and called it macaroni
Yankee doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mind the music and the steps
And with the firls be handy
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Cap'n Goodwin
The men and boys all stood around
As thick as hasty puddin'
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mind the music and the steps
And with the girls be handy
If you're happy, and you know it,clap you hands
If you're happy, and you know it, clap you hand
If you're happy and you know it
and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
Golden days!
Sing the wealth of golden days!
Field and lane, fruit and grain
Yeild their shining meed
Give us
Lord, our daily bread
So Thy little ones are fed
Golden days!
Golden days!
Thanks to God indeed!
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
Lond Bridge is falling down

Iron and steel, iron and steel
Iron and steel will bend and bow
Bend and bow, bend and bow
Build it up with stone so strong
Stone so strong, stone so strong

For ages long, for ages long
