-another verse

Then the teeny sleepy spider
Slept the whole night long.

Other verses:

Bring on the carrots, bring on the peas
Mama come and feed this little baby please.

Bring on the pancakes, stacked in a pile
Papa gonna make this baby smile.
Bring on some crackers, bring on some cheese, 
Won’t somebody feed this little baby please.
Bring on a napkin, bring on a sponge
Clean me up cause I’m all done.

You give your hand a shake, shake, shake
And turn yourself around.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
We're going to the moon.

If you want to take a trip,
Climb aboard my rocket ship.

The Baby in the Cradle
The baby in the cradle
Goes rock-a-rock-a-rock.
The clock on the dresser
Goes tick-a-tick-a-tock.
The rain on the window
Goes tap-a-tap-a-tap.
But here comes the sun,
So we clap-a-clap-a-clap!

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams, you will loose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smilin’ through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you’ll keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true.

Strong Start Requests

There Was a Little Turtle
(My personal favourite)

There was a little turtle
He lived in a box.
He swam in the puddles
and he climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito
He snapped at a flea
He snapped at a minnow
and he snapped at me
He caught the mosquito
He caught the flea
He caught the minnow
but he didn't catch me.



The Bubblegum song

My Mom gave me a nickel, so I could buy a pickle
I didn't buy a pickle. I bought bubblegum.
Baloomp, baloomp, baloomp, POP!
Baloomp, baloomp, baloomp, POP!
Baloomp, baloomp, baloomp, POP!
I bought bubblegum!

My Dad gave me a dime, so I could buy a lime
I didn't buy a lime. I bought bubblegum.
Baloomp, baloomp, baloomp, POP!
Baloomp, baloomp, baloomp, POP!
Baloomp, baloomp, baloomp, POP!
I bought bubblegum!

Baby Bumblebee

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee
Ouch! It stung me.

I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee
Eww, it's sticky.

I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee
Oh no, it's all over me.

I'm licking off my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee
Mmmmmm, it tastes like honey!

If I do it high or low,
If I do it fast or slow,
Do as I'm doing;
Follow, follow me!
Do as I'm doing;
Follow, follow me!

On my head and hands and toes.

Getting Started

Hello, I am one of many Mother Goose ladies for the North Island and I thought this would be a great way to share our favourite Mother Goose songs and rhymes. I don't know all the original authors of all the songs and poems. But I know you will enjoy getting reaquainted with old faves and learning new ones. Thank you to all of you who have helped me compile this great resource. Stay tuned for more....
