Little Bo-Peep Has lost her sheep And can’t tell where to find them. Leave them alone, And they’ll come home And bring their tails behind them. Dickory, dickory, dock! The mouse ran up the clock! The clock struck one And down it run, Dickory, dickory, dock! Dame, get up and bake your cakes On Christmas day in the morning. “Oranges and lemons,” Say the bells of Saint Clemens; “You owe me five farthings,” Say the bells of Saint Martin’s; “When will you pay me?” Say the bells of Old Bailey; “When I grow rich,” Say the bells of Shoreditch; “When will that be?” Say the bells of Stepney; “I do not know,” Says the great bell of Bow; Here comes a candle To light you to bed, And here comes a chopper! To chop off your head! Hey! diddle Dumpling, my son John! He went to his bed with his stockings on; One shoe off and the other shoe on, Hey! diddle Dumpling, my son John! Dingle, dingle dousy, The cat’s in the well; The dog’s awa’ to Musselbro’ Tae buy the bairn a bell; Greet, greet, my bairnie Ye’ll get a silver bell, And gin ye dinna faster greet I’ll keep it tae mysel’! Here we go round the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush, Here we go round the Mulberry bush On a cold and frosty morning. Here we go loo-by-loo, Here we go loo-by-light, Here we go loo-by-loo, And all on a Saturday night. O! Here we go round the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush, Here we go round the Mulberry bush, On a cold and frosty morning.
