1. The Man on the Flying Trapeze
written by George Leybourne in 1868
3/4 Time
He flies through the air with the greatest of ease,
This daring young man on the flying trapeze,
His movements are graceful, all girls he does please,
And my love he's purloined away.
2. Hey Diddle Diddle
by Mother Goose
3/4 Time
Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
3. Rock-a-bye Baby
by Mother Goose
3/4 Time
Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
4. Pat-a-Cake
Traditional
3/4 Time
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake
Baker's man.
Bake us a cake
As fast as you can.
Mix it and prick it
And mark it with a B
Put it in the oven
For baby and me.
