Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing,
morning bells are ringing
Ding Dong Ding!
Ding Dong Ding!
Dance, little baby, dance up high;
Never mind, baby, mother is by;
Crow and caper, caper and crow,
There, little baby, there you go;
Bye baby bunting
Daddy's gone a'hunting
Mummy's gone a'milking
Sister's gone a'silking
Brother's gone to buy a skin
To wrap the baby bunting in
Up to the ceiling, down to the ground,
Backwards and forwards, round and round;
Dance, little baby, and mother shall sing,
With the merry gay coral, ding-a-ding, ding.
Dance to your Daddy,
My little laddy,
Dance to your Daddy,
My little lamb.
You shall have a fishy
In a little dishy,
You shall have a fishy
When the boat comes in.
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son, John,
Went to bed with his trousers on,
One shoe off and one shoe on!
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son, John!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears Top

Oh what did her blue eyes see?
A bowl that was huge and a bowl that was small,
And a bowl that was tiny and that was all,
and she counted them one two three.

If ye have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor,
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Yet it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn on the day that he was born
It was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Chorus
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick tock tick tock
His life's seconds numbering
Tick tock tick tock
But it stopped short,
Never to run again
When the old man died
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours he had spent when a boy
And through childhood and manhood, the clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck 24 when he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride,
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
CHORUS:
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Tick tock tick tock
Not a servant so faithful he'd found,
Tick tock tick tock
For it kept perfect time
And it had one desire
At the close of each day to be wound
At it kept to its place, not a frown upon its face
At its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
It rang an alarm in the still of the night,
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
That his hour of departure had come
CHORUS:
Still the clock kept the time
Tick tock tick tock
With a soft and muffled chime
Tick tock tick tock
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
My mother gave me fifty cents Top
My mother gave me fifty cents
To see the elephant jump the fence.
He jumped so high he reached the sky
And didn't come down till the fourth of July
My old man's a sailor,
What d you think of that?
He wears a sailor's collar,
He wears a sailor's hat.
He wears a sailor's raincoat,
He wears a sailor's shoes.
And every Sunday evening,
He reads the Sailor News.
And someday, if I can,
I'm gonna be a sailor,
The same as my old man.
Rock-a-bye baby,
On the tree top.
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all
