The Pumpkin Eater

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her;
He put her in a pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very well.

Hush-a-bye, Baby

Hush-a-bye, baby,
  Daddy is near;
Mamma is a lady,
  And that’s very clear.

Birds of a Feather

BIRDS of a feather flock together,
    And so will pigs and swine;
  Rats and mice will have their choice,
    And so will I have mine.

Cock-a-Doodle-Do

Oh, my pretty cock! Oh, my handsome cock!
  I pray you, do not crow before day,
And your comb shall be made of the very beaten gold,
  And your wings of the silver so gray.
