London Bridge is Falling Down Lyrics: London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, My fair lady. Youtube: http://goo.gl/0ClPf	"London Bridge Is Falling Down" (also known as "My Fair Lady" or simply "London Bridge") is a traditional nursery rhymeand singing game, which is found in different versions all over the world. It deals with the depredations of London Bridge and attempts, realistic or fanciful, to repair it. It may date back to bridge rhymes and games of the late Middle Ages, but the earliest records of the rhyme in English are from the seventeenth century. The lyrics were first printed in close to its modern form in the mid-eighteenth century and became popular, particularly in Britain and the United States in the nineteenth century. The modern melody was first recorded in the late nineteenth century and the game resembles arch games of the Middle Ages, but seems to have taken its modern form in the late nineteenth century. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 502. Several theories have been advanced to explain the meaning of the rhyme and the identity of the "fair lady" of the refrain. The rhyme is one of the most well known in the world and has been referenced in a variety of work of literature and popular culture.

Mary Had a Little Lamb Lyrics: Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, Everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day, School one day, school one day, It followed her to school one day, That was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play, Laugh and play, laugh and play, It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school. And so the teacher turned it out, Turned it out, turned it out, And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near... And waited patiently about, Patiently about, patiently about, And waited patiently about, Till Mary did appear. "Why does the lamb love Mary so? Mary so? Mary so? Why does the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry. "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know, The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know! Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know." The teacher did reply.

Bare cupboard (from “Old Mother Hubbard”) Lyrics: Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard, To give the poor dog a bone; When she came there, The cupboard was bare, And so the poor dog had none. She went to the baker's To buy him some bread; When she came back The dog was dead! She went to the undertaker's To buy him a coffin; When she came back The dog was laughing. She took a clean dish to get him some tripe; When she came back He was smoking his pipe. She went to the alehouse To get him some beer; When she came back The dog sat in a chair. She went to the tavern For white wine and red; When she came back The dog stood on his head. She went to the fruiterer's To buy him some fruit; When she came back He was playing the flute. She went to the tailor's To buy him a coat; When she came back He was riding a goat. She went to the hatter's To buy him a hat; When she came back He was feeding her cat. She went to the barber's To buy him a wig When she came back He was dancing a jig. She went to the cobbler's To buy him some shoes; When she came back He was reading the news. She went to the sempstress To buy him some linen; When she came back The dog was spinning. She went to the hosier's To buy him some hose; When she came back He was dressed in his clothes. The Dame made a curtsy, The dog made a bow; The Dame said, Your servant; The dog said, Bow-wow. This wonderful dog Was Dame Hubbard's delight, He could read, he could dance, He could sing, he could write; She gave him rich dainties Whenever he fed, And erected this monument When he was dead.	"Old Mother Hubbard" is an English-language nursery rhyme, first printed in 1805 and among the most popular publications of the nineteenth century. The exact origin and meaning of the rhyme is disputed. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19334.
