5. There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

6. Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.

Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

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

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all!

Eating his Christmas pie;
He stuck in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,

His wife could eat no lean.
And so, betwixt the two of them,
They licked the platter clean.
