THE MAN IN THE MOON.

THE Man in the Moon

Came tumbling down,

And asked his way to Norwich;

Buring mouth They told him south,

And he burnt his mouth

With eating cold pease-porridge.

TO MARKET, TO MARKET.

TO market, to market, to buy a fat Pig;

Home again, home again, dancing a jig.



To market

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

Home again Sneaking off

THERE WAS A MAN.

There was a man, and he had nought,

And robbers came to rob him;



Up the roof He crept up to the chimney-pot,

AND THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM BUT HE GOT DOWN ON T'OTHER SIDE

And then they could not find him;



Looking for him

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,

And never looked behind him.



14 miles Lion and the Unicorn

THE LION AND THE UNICORN.

The Lion and the Unicorn

Were fighting for the Crown;

The Lion beat the Unicorn

All round about the town.

And some gave them brown;

Some gave them plum-cake,

And sent them out of town.

Eating of curds and whey;

Sat on a tuffet There came a big Spider

And sat down beside her,

And frightened Miss Muffet away.
