School Days

School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
Readin' an' writin' an' 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a hickory stick
You were my girl in calico
I was your silly bashful beau
Mary had a lamb
His fleece was white as snow
Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was white as snow,
Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go Humpty, Humpty Dumpty
Sat upon a wall
Humpty Dumpty on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a fall
All the king’s horses and his men
Couldn’t put Humpty back again
Little Jackie Horner
Sittin' in a corner
Little Jack Horner in a corner,
Eatin' his Christmas pie
He stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum
Said «What a great guy am I».
Simple, Simple Simon
Goin' to the fair
Simple Simon met a pieman goin' to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the pieman
«Let me taste your ware».
Peter, little Peter,
Was a pumpkin eater
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
There he kept her very well
A-ring a round of roses, pocket full of posies
Rise, Sally, rise; wipe your weepin' eyes
Little Sally Walker, sittin' in a saucer
Turn to the east, turn to the west
Little Sally Walker, sittin' in a saucer
Turn to the one and have a little fun
Go in and out the window
Go in and out the window
Go home and get your dinner
And hurry back to school
And hurry!
