Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Down the hill we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In one horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride.
And soon Miss Fannie Bright
Was sitting by my side.
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And we, we got upset.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In one horse open sleigh.
My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back,
Bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me!
Bring back,
Bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead.
Bring back,
Bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me!
Bring back,
Bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
I Saw Three Ships
I saw three ships come sailing by,
Sailing by, sailing by;
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On New Year’s Day in the morning
And what do you think was in them then?
In them then, in them then;
And what do you think was in them then?
On New Year’s Day in the morning.
Three pretty girls were in them then,
In them then, in them then;
Three pretty girls were in them then,
On New Year’s Day in the morning.
And one could whistle, and one could sing,
The other could play on the violin;
Such joy there was at the wedding,
On the New Year’s Day in the morning.
Auld Lang Syne
(старинная шотландская песня)
Lyrics by Robert Burns
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie’s a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
(традиционная Рождественская песня)
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer
We won’t go until we get some;
We won’t go until we get some;
We won’t go until we get some, so bring some out here
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The Reindeer Dance
He’s on his way,
He’s on his sleigh,
It’s Father Christmas,
Hip, hip hooray!
He’s sitting in the back
With the presents in his sack
And his reindeer are leading the way.
And they go up, up, up
Down, down.
To the left, to the right
And round and round.
Up, up, up
Down, down.
To the left, to the right,
What a lovely Christmas sight!
This Old Man
This old man, he played one,
He played nick-nack on my drum,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played two,
He played nick-nack on my shoe,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played three,
He played nick-nack on my tree,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played four,
He played nick-nack on my door,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played five,
He played nick-nack on my hive,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played six,
He played nick-nack on my sticks,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played seven,
He played nick-nack on my oven,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played eight,
He played nick-nack on my gate,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played nine,
He played nick-nack on my line,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played ten,
He played nick-nack on my hen,
With a nick-nack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see (clap, clap),
And all that he could see (clap, clap),
Was the other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see.
The bear went over the river…
The bear went over the meadow…
Clearing the Table
Breakfast’s over off we go,
To remove the cloth, you know.
Put the napkins on the tray,
And the plates, too, take away.
Cups and saucers next we take,
Carefully, lest them we break.
Bring the milk and sugar here,
Soon the table will be clear.
As for plates they are for me,
I’m careful, don’t you see
Shake the cloth and fold it straight,
Then we’ll wash each cup and plate.
Nicholas Ned
Nicholas Ned,
He lost his head,
And put a turnip on instead;
But then, ah me!
He could not see,
So he thought it was night,
And went to bed.
Knitting Game
I will teach you how to knit,
If you listen, dears, to me;
And I’m sure you will admit
It is easy as can be.
Put the pins all ready, so,
Hold one firmly with each hand;
Then the knitting drill I give
You must try to understand.
Take a stitch at number One,
And when I say, «Number Two,»
Hold the wool in your right hand,
And then throw it over, so.
Now the pin that’s underneath
To the top must come at Three,
Slip the loop at number Four
From the left pin carefully.
Sewing Game
Little children, clean and bright,
Show your left hand, show your right,
Left forefinger, that will do,
Place your sewing round it, so.
Needle in your right hand hold,
All should do just what is told;
When the number One I call,
Take a stitch, dear children all.
Two, we show the stitch so neat,
Just to see it is a treat.
Three, we push the needle’s eye
With our thimble carefully.
Four, we draw the needle out,
Minding well what we’re about.
Thread from needle need not slip,
If a good look-out we keep.
Taking Father’s Tea
Children:
Straight away from school we go,
To take our father’s tea, you know.
Mother:
With care the jug of tea you’ll hold,
And make good haste lest it get cold.
Children:
Oh yes, dear mother, all you say
We’ll mind right well – and now, away.
Father:
Ah! my children, here you come,
Children:
Yes, we’ve brought your tea from home.
Father:
Thank you, now run home and play;
I am working late to-day.
Take Some, Please
Children:
Kind Uncle Fred has taken us down to the city there,
And nuts and sweets and fruit he’s bought, for each of us a share.
Uncle Fred:
Do try my candy, see, oh see these chocolates are fine!
Just take the largest one there is, all must have some of mine.
And here are cherries, red and ripe, as juicy as can be;
I like to see them grow; they look so pretty on the tree.
I went to find a dish to hold my nuts, do take some, please;
Each walnut shell makes two nice boats, so please have one of these.
Children:
We thank you, dear, for sharing thus with us your nice good things;
You are good, unselfish, kind and this far more of pleasure brings.
