Nursery Rhyme Play Song
Performed by Peter and Ellen Allard

Almost any nursery rhyme can be adapted to this silly song!

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And threw it out the window.
The window, the window, he threw it out the window.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And threw it out the window.

Chorus:
The window, the window,
The second story window.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And threw it out the window.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
And he threw them out the window.
The window, the window, he threw them out the window.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
And he threw them out the window.

Chorus:
The window, the window,
The second story window.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
And he threw them out the window.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone.
When she got there, the cupboard was bare
So she threw it out the window.
The window, the window, she threw it out the window.
When she got there, the cupboard was bare
So she threw it out the window.

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating a fresh baked pie.
He put in his thumb and he pulled out a plum
And he threw it out the window.
The window, the window, he threw it out the window.
He put in his thumb and he pulled out a plum
And he threw it out the window.

Yankee doodle came to town
Riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his cap
And threw it out the window.
The window, the window, he threw it out the window.
He stuck a feather in his cap
And threw it out the window.

A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket.
I wrote a letter to my love
And threw it out the window.
The window, the window, I threw it out the window.
I wrote a letter to my love
And threw it out the window.

Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between the both of them.
They threw it out the window.

Alternate Choruses: *
The window, the window,
The second story window.
With a heave, and a ho, and a mighty blow
He they threw it out the window.

The window, the window,
The second story window.
Think of a rhyme, and sing it in time
And throw it out the window.

The window, the window,
The second story window.
If you can't make a rhyme and sing it in time
Then throw it out the window.
