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?

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Video:Courtesy YouTube.com
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.

HUSH, LITTLE BABY

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's gonna buy you a mockin'bird.
If that mockin'bird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turns over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and Cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest baby in town.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
Could not put Humpty together again!
OR
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Threescore men and threescore more,
Can’t place Humpty Dumpty as he was before!

“You scare me so
I have to go!”

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How 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!
