Itsy-Bitsy Dpider (Lyrics)

The itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sunshine
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again

Hush Little Baby (Lyrics)

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Mama’s gonna buy you a Mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat don’t pull,
Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest baby in town.

Hush, little baby, don’t you cry,
Daddy loves you, so do I
Hush, little baby, don’t you cry,
Daddy loves you, so do I.
