Old John Muddlecombe
Old John Muddlecombe,Lost his cap;He couldn’t find it anywhere,The poor old cap.He walked down the High Street,And everybody said;“Silly John Muddlecombe,You’ve got it on your head!”

A wealthy doctor named Robert Darwin had four daughters and two sons. When his youngest son, Charles, was eight, Robert’s wife died. So, Charles was raised by his elder sisters.

If wishes were horses,Beggars would ride;If turnips were watches,I’d wear one by my side.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,Jingle all the way;O what fun it is to ride,On a one-horse open sleigh.

Oh, rock-a-by, baby mouse, rock-a-by, so!When baby’s asleep to the baker’s I’ll go;And while he’s not looking I’ll pop from a hole,And bring to my baby a fresh penny roll.
Blow, wind, blow! and go, mill, go!That the miller may grind his corn;That the baker may take it,And into rolls make it,And send us some hot in the morn.
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son JohnWent to bed with his trousers on;One shoe off, the other shoe on,Diddle, diddle, dumpling,my son John.
