I heard one of my friends singing nursery rhymes to her kids.She got stuck in the middle of one popular rhyme.That is when I decided to put together the lyrics and videos of atleast some of them.


I remember how my teacher used to sing the rhymes for us and show us the posters and pictures related to the rhyme.Her movements and the music were my first lessons of rhythm and melody. Nursery rhymes have been taught to children around the world for hundreds of years to help children develop their vocabulary and early counting skills.

Do you have your favourite nursery rhyme in this collection?

Two little dicky-birds,
Sat upon the wall.
One named Peter,
The other named Paul!

Fly away Peter!
Fly away Paul!
Come back Peter!
Come back Paul!

Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

One for my master,
One for my dame,
One for the little boy,
Who lives down the lane.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

Mary had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
and everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day
school one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day,which
was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
laugh and play, laugh and play,
it made the children laugh and play,to
see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,
turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out, but still
it lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about till Mary did
appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so," the
eager children cry.
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know,
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
the teacher did reply.

Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns.
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
