FOREWORD
There is a Teacher's Book to accompany this collection
of songs and rhymes. I t contains a general introduction
describing the purpose of this collection and the role of
songs and rhymes in language teaching. It also contains
tables of rhymes which can be used for practising par-
ticular difficulties of pronunciation, vocabulary, and
structure. There is a section on how to present the songs
and rhymes to children, which also contains many of the
tunes and fingerplays traditionally associated with the
rhymes. Where a rhyme is marked in this collection
with an asterisk* there is a note about it in the Teacher's
Book. Where a rhyme is marked with a letter of the
alphabet, this indicates the rhythmic shape of the rhyme.
There is a full description of rhythmic shapes in the
Teacher's Book.

"Could cal1 me a fussy mano
I only want a little bir
Of butter for my bread."
The nueen said: "There there""<J "
And weru to the Dairymaid.
The Dairymaid said: "There, there,"
And wenr to the shed.
The cow said "There there, ,
I didn't really mean it,
Rere's milk for his porringer
And butter for his bread."
The Queen took the butter
And brought it to Ris Majesty.
The king said: "Butter-eh?"
And bounced out of bed.
"Nobody," he said,
As he kissed her tenderly,
"Nobody," he said,
As he slid down the bannisters ,
"Nobody, my darling,
Could call me a fussy man,
But I do like a little bit rif butter for my bread."
She curtsied to the Queen, and
She turned a little red.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty,
For taking of the liberty,
But marmalade is tasty if
It's very thickly spread."
The Queen said : "Oh!"
And wenr to Ris Majesty.
"Talking of the butter for
The Royal slice of bread,
Many people think that
Marmalade is nicer,
Would you like to try a little
Marmalade instead?"
The King said: "Bother!",
And then he said: "Oh deary me."
The King sobbed: "Oh deary me,"
And wenr back to bed.

And half a penny candle.

The OwI And The Pussy Cat (C)
The owl and the pussy cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boato
They took some honey and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The owllooked up at the stars above
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful pussy you are!
Vou are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
Puss said to the owl, "You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing.

o let us be married! Too long have we tarried,
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the Bong-tree grows,
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
"Dear Pig, are vou willing to seü for one shilIing
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "1 wilI."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lived on the hilI.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon.
And hand in hand on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Who Has Seen The Wind (E)
Who has seen the wind?
Neither 1 nor vou.
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing through.
Neither you nor 1.
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.
Whenever The Moon And Stars Are Set
Whenever the moon and stars are set,
Whenever the wind is high,
AlI night long in the dark and wet
A man goes ridir~g by. .
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he galIop and gallop about?
Whenever the trees are crying aloud
And ships are tossed at sea,
By, Onthe highwSlY,low and Ioud,
By, at the gallop goes he.
By, at the gallop he goes and then
By, he comes back at the gallop again.
