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

Mother's Room

 

Mother's Room 

Mother's Room I wonder why it always is 
That Mother's room is best; 
And if we're sorry, sick, or sad, 
Her bed gives perfect rest.

We get our troubles mended like 

Each hole each rip and tear; 

There's comfort understanding for 

Our moods of dark despair.

Her room seems sunny all the time, 

Though weather may be gray. 

Of all the rooms in all the house 

It's there I want to stay.
