Luji Nursery songs

Three little mice crept out to see what they could find to have for tea, (For they were dainty, saucy mice, and liked to nibble something nice), But Pussy's eyes so big and bright soon sent them scampering off in a fright. Three tabby cats went forth to mouse, and said, "Let's have a gay carouse." For they were handsome, active cats, and famed for catching mice and rats. But savage dogs, disposed to bite, these cats declined to encounter in fight	Listen

Little Tommy Tucker, sing for your supper. What shall he sing for? White bread and butter. How shall he cut it without any knife? How shall he marry without any wife?
Curly Locks! Curly Locks! Wilt thou be mine? Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine; But sit on a cushion, and sew a fine seam, And feast upon strawberries, sugar, and cream.
Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross. To see a fine lady upon a white horse, Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, She shall have music wherever she goes.
I had a little doggie that used to sit and beg, But Doggie tumbled down the stairs and broke his little leg; Oh, Doggie, I will nurse you, and try to make you well; And you shall have a collar with a pretty little bell. Ah, Doggie, don't you think that you should very faithful be, For having such a loving friend to comfort you as me? And when your leg is better, and you shall run and play, We'll have a scamper in the field, and see them making hay. But, Doggie, you must promise (and mind your word you keep) Not once to tease the little lambs or run among the sheep. And then the yellow "chicks" that play upon the grass, You must not even wag your tail to scare them as you pass
Dickory, dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock, The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, dickory, dickory dock.
Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light, twinkle, twinkle all the night. Then the traveler in the dark thanks you for your tiny spark: How could he see where to go, if you did not twinkle so? In the dark blue sky you keep, often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye, Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark lights the traveler in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair. Says Simple Simon to the pieman "Let me taste your ware." Says the man to Simple Simon, "Do you mean to pay?" Says Simon "Yes, of course I do!" and then he ran away
Three crows there were once who sat on a stone, Fal la la la la la! But two flew away and then there was one. Fal la la la la la! The other crow felt so timid alone, Fal la la la la la! That he flew away, and then there was one, Fal la la la la la!
There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile, He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a crooked little house
Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye; Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was open'd, the birds began to sing. Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king? The king was in the counting house, counting out his money; The queen was in the parlor, eating bread and honey; The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes; There came a little dickie bird, and popped upon her nose!
