As fast as he could caper;

And went to bed to mend his head
One fell off and bumped her head.
With vinegar and brown paper.

And knocked at the door with a rat tat tat. Life is but a dream

He looked at the dolly and shook his head, Row, row, row your boat
And said “Miss Polly put her straight to bed.” Gently down the stream
He wrote a pad for a pill, pill, pill.
I’ll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, If you see a crocodile
bill. Don’t forget to scream!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When he nothing shines upon,
When you shower your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

How I wonder what you are!
