Miss Polly had a dolly
Who was sick, sick, sick,
So she called for the doctor
To be quick, quick, quick;
The doctor came
With his bag and his hat,
And he knocked at the door
With a rat-a-tat-tat.

And he shook his head,
And he said "Miss Polly,
Put her straight to bed."

For a pill, pill, pill,
"I'll be back in the morning
With the bill, bill, bill."

There's a worm at the
Bottom of my garden,
And his name is Wiggly Woo.
There's a worm at the
Bottom of my garden
And all that he can do
Is wiggle all day
And wiggle all night
The neighbours say
What a terrible fright!
There's a worm at the
Bottom of my garden,
And his name is Wiggly Woo

There's a snail at the
Bottom of my garden,
And her name is Slippery Sue.
There's a snail at the
Bottom of my garden
And all that she can do
Is slither all night
And slither all day
And when she goes
She's got somewhere to stay
There's a snail at the
Bottom of my garden,
And her name is Slippery Sue


Let's go and look for some
Snails and some worms!

There's a worm at the
Bottom of my garden,
And his name is Wiggly Woo.
There's a worm at the
Bottom of my garden
And all that he can do
wiggle all day
And wiggle all night
The neighbours say
What a terrible terrible
Terrible fright!
There's a worm at the
Bottom of my garden,
And his name is Wiggly
Wig Wig Wiggly,

Horsey horsey, don't you stop
Just let your feet go clippetty clop
Your tail goes swish
And the wheels go round
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Farmer Grey's got a one horse shay
He takes to town

Coming home when
the lights are low
He sings his song
as away they go.

So don't go tearing up the road

We ain't in a flurry
And we ain't got a heavy load

Let’s have a Tea Party!

I said “It’s time for tea everybody,
So c’mon drink with me everybody”

Hear me shout
Tip me up and pour me out.

I can change my handle into a spout
Just tip me up and pour me out
