TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

 


TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR 

Twinkle twinkle little star 
JANE TAYLOR FRENCH AIR 

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

Twinkle, twinkle little star 
How I wonder what you are.  

When the blazing sun is gone, 
When he nothing shines upon, 
Then you show your little light, 
Twinkle, twinkle all the night. 
Twinkle twinkle & c 

Then the trav'ler in the dark
 Thanks you for your tiny spark 
He could not tell which way to go 
If you did not twinkle so. 
Twinkle twinkle & c 

In the dark blue sky you keep, 
And often thro my curtains peep. 
For you never shut your eye, 
Till the sun is in the sky 
Twinkle twinkle & c

Simple Simon

Simple Simon One child is chosen for the Pieman and the other for Simple The rest may join hands in circle formation or if they are too they may stand at one side and keep time to the music by hands softly while singing to tune of Coming Through the Rye 


Simple Simon met a pieman 
coming from the fair; 
Said Simple Siman to the pieman. 
"Let me taste your ware." 

Said the pieman to Simple Simon, 
"Show me first your penny." 
Said Simple Simon to the pieman 
"Indeed I haven't any."

Simple Simon went a -fishing 
For to catch a whale; 
All the water he had got 
Was in his mother's pail.

Simple Simon went to look 
If plums grew on a thistle. 
 He pricked his fingers very much 
Which made poor Simon whistle.

The two players start out and walk in opposite directions around the circle. When they meet at the words "Said Simple Simon to the pieman"the child representing the former, sings his lines and panto mimes the action.s When the pieman sings "Show me first your  penny"penny Simple Simon responds shaking his head sorrowfully. Indeed I haven t any. Whereupon they both bow and skip in opposite directions around the circle and together sing Tra la la la la la la la tra la la la la finishing the refrain Simple Simon then becomes the pieman and selects another player for his part
