Fishes swim in water clear, water clear, water clear Fishes swim in water clear my daughter dear But the birds they fly up high, high up in the sky The birds they fly up high my daughter dear Serpents creep along the ground, along the ground, along the ground Serpents creep along the ground my mother dear But the birds they fly up high, high up in the sky The birds they fly up high my mother dear Boys and girls run round and round, round and round, round and round Boys and girls run round and round my daughter dear But I'm sure I wonder why, why is it we can't fly? It would be grand up in the sky my daughter dear

One Misty Moisty Morning, when cloudy was the weather I met and old man clothed all in leather Clothed all in leather with a cap under his chin How do you do? How do you do? And how do you do again! One wild windy morning when dark was the sky There I met a young man with a twinkle in his eye With a twinkle in his eye and a beard upon his chin How do you do? How do you do? How do you do again! One white and frosty morning when snow was on the ground I met a young girl twirling round and round Twirling round in a red hat and a feather How do you do? How do you do? And how are you altogether! One wet and rainy morning when deep were the puddles I met an old woman all in a muddle All in a muddle with a bag upon her head How do you do? How do you do? And I'm on my way to bed?

I know something you don't know, clucked the little red hen Cockerels know the break of day, they know when The sun is arising light up the day x 2 I know something you don't know, clucked the little red hen I know the break of shell, I know when Chicks will be hatching, breaking out of the egg x 2

Roads go ever ever on x 2 Over rock and under tree By caves where sun has never shone Streams that never find the sea Over snow by winter sown Through the merry flowers of June Over grass and over stone Under mountains in the moon Roads go ever ever on x 2 Under cloud and under star Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar Eyes that fire and stone have seen And horrors in the halls of stone Look at least on meadows green Trees and hills they long have known

One two, buckle my shoe x 3 Then we can go dancing (Chorus) Pom pom pom x 2 We turn around, we turn around Pom pom pom Then we can go dancing Three four, clear the floor x 3 Then we can go dancing (Chorus) Five six, do high kicks x 3 Then we can go dancing (Chorus) Seven eight, don't be late x 3 Then we can go dancing (Chorus) Nine ten, let's do it again x 3 Then we can go dancing (Chorus)

Who saw the petals drop from a rose? "I" said the spider "but nobody knows" Who saw the butterfly, who saw the bee Drink from a honeysuckle? Said the spider "Only me" Who saw the ants marching all in a row? "I" said the spider, "I'm the only one that knows" Who saw the morning mist settle on the ground? "I" said the spider, "I was the only one around"
