Jingle.

by G. G. Wiederseim.

Papa's a-riding away to town

To buy my mama a beautiful

gown

With laces and ruffles and rib-

bons of red,

And a dear little bonnet to put 

on her head.

Singing

SINGING

Of speckled eggs the birdie sings

And nests among the trees;

The sailor sings of ropes and things

In ships upon the seas.

The children in far Japan,

The children sing in Spain;

The organ with the organ man

Is singing in the rain.

The Cradle That Walked On Two Feet

THE CRADLE THAT 

WALKED ON TWO FEET

The Japanese sister jumps rope all the

day,

And skips 'round the yard in her Japa-

nese play.

While tied on her back is her brother,

dear me!

His head is as wobbly as wobbly can be!

Little Miss Crewe...

Little Miss Crewe

Has lost her shoe,

And can't tell where to find it.

Move out the chest,

And cease the quest,

For doggy 

and she

are 

behind it.

Down the path...

"Down the path and up the lane,

And through the neighbor's gate,

Oh people going out to dine

Should never start too late..."

The pudding-bag string...

Sing, sing! what shall we sing?

The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string...

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!

My Dame has lost her shoe,

Master broke his fiddling-stick

And don't know what to do."
