NURSIE’S LITTLE RHYME BOOK

Goosey, Goosey, Gander,

Where shall I wander?

Upstairs and downstairs

And in my lady’s chamber.

There I met an old man

That would not say his prayers,

So I took him by the left leg

And threw him down stairs.

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?”

“With silver bells and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row.”

Yankee-doodle came to town

Upon a little pony,

He stuck a feather in his hat

And called it macaroni.

Yankee-doodle, doodle-do,

Yankee-doodle dandy;

All the lasses are so smart,

And sweet as sugar candy.

Marching in and marching out,

And marching round the town, O!

Here there comes a regiment

With Captain Thomas Brown, O!

Yankee-doodle, etc.

Yankee-doodle is a tune

That comes in very handy;

The enemy all runs away

At Yankee-doodle dandy.
